Summary:

The paper studied the burn rate of fuels in the CFR engine at standard knock intensity. Burn duration was found to increase with compression ratio, and knocking pressure traces exhibited a distinct change in slope, thought to be the onset of knock. A criterion was developed to identify this knock-point. The knock-point was related to the mass fraction bunt and it was found that the mass fraction burnt at the knock-point decreases as the compression ratio decreases, to as little as 30%. It is proposed that the nature of knock in the CFR engine is unique in that a large fraction of the trapped mass participates in the autoignition. The paper also presented a functional descriptor for the mass fraction burnt and illustrated the suitability thereof through the application in an engine model
