temperature diagrams is how the flame speed varies, in terms of crank angle, with engine speed. The
actual variation of flame speed with time will be quite small, but the effect of increasing the engine
speed is to spread the heat release period over a longer crank angle interval, and hence further down the
expansion stroke. This will reduce the efficiency of the engine cycle at high speeds because the
effective expansion ratio of the gas is reduced. In this example, the flame speed factor, f
f
, was
maintained constant although in a real engine this might change as the speed varies. It has been shown
that the turbulence levels in an engine do increas
