- Summary:
- Experimental measurements and theoretical calculations have been made on an aircraft-type, single-cylinder, in order to determine the physical nature of the inlet process, especially at high piston sppeds. The engine was run at speeds from 1,500 to 2,600 r.p.m. (mean piston speeds 1,370 to 2,380 feet per minute). Measurements were made of the cylinder pressure during the inlet stroke, and of the power output and vlumetric efficiency. Measurements were also made, with the engine not running, to determine the resistance and mass of the air in the inlet-valve port at various crank angles.
- A theoretical analysis of the process was made, on a purely mechanical basis (no account being taken of thermal effects). The results of this analysis indicate that, as far as the mechanics is concerned, mass has an appreciable effect but friction plays the major part in restricting flow.
