by modern standards. Petrol engines will normally be operating in the range of 60 bar peak pressure
whereas diesel engines will achieve values up to 140 bar (this applies to medium speed engines pro-
ducing around 1000–3000 kW). At these peak pressures, the optimum compression ratio will be in the
range 12:1 to 18:1. The effect of friction on the efficiency is less in this case because

is greater.
16.6 SIMULATION OF COMBUSTION IN SPARK-IGNITION ENGINES
Combustion processes were described in detail in Chapter 15, and the way in which these basic
principles apply in engines was discussed above. A simplified model of combustion in spark-ignition
engines, ...
