A 3.1-liter SI engine is to be designed with a central spark plug and combustion at TDC, this gives a flame travel distance of B/3. The engine is to operate with an average piston speed of 9 m/sec and a burn angle of 22 of engine crank rotation. Stroke and bore will be related by S =0.9B. Calculate: (a) Draw a cross section of the engine cylinder and locate the position of the spark plug (a) Average flame speed in (m/s) if the design is for an in-line four-cylinder engine. (b) Average flame speed in (m/s) if the design is for a V8 engine.
