Summary:

An extensive experimental and analytical study of the performance of a Wankel engine is reported, with special emphasis on the combustion process. A one dimensional technique for calculating gas velocities in the combustion chamber under motoring conditions is described and this is then used to evaluate flame travel when combustion occurs. A novel three-zone combustion model is introduced. The effect of the position of the rotor recess is examined and shown to change the engine power output and hydrocarbon emissions
