The Influence of Air Intake and Exhaust Conditions on Engine Performance in the Poppet Valve Uniflow Two-Cycle Engine : A Suggestion for Estimating the Engine Output under Certain Atmospheric Conditions

Abstract

In order to study the influence of air intake and exhaust conditions on the engine performance in a poppet valve uniflow two-cycle engine, a series of fundamental equations and methods of estimating the engine performance were derived. Next a series of fundamental experiments were made on a single cylinder engine. Finally calculated values and experimental results with a four-cylinder automobile engine were compared, and good agreement was confirmed.
