Abstract
This report summarizes the key results and conceptual findings from
a three year research program on hydrocarbon formation and oxidation
mechanisms in spark-ignition engines. Research was carried out in four
areas: laminar flame quenching experimental and analytical studies;
quench layer studies in a spark-ignition engine using a rapid-acting
gas sampling valve; flow visualization studies in a transparent engine
to determine quench layer and quench crevice gas motion; studies of heat
transfer, mixing and HC oxidation in the exhaust port. More detailed
descriptions of the individual research activities in these areas can
be found in the theses and publications completed to date which form
Volumes II to XI of the final report on this program.
