An SI engine has a 10.2-cm bore with the spark plug offset by 6 mm from center. When the engine operates at 1200 RPM it takes 6.5 of engine rotation for combustion to develop and get into flame propagation mode, where the average flame speed is 15.8msec, with the combustion ending at 12.4 aTDC. It is desired that flame termination be at the same crank angle position when the speed of the engine is increased to 2000 RPM. In the 1000rpm-2000rpm engine speed range, flame development takes the same amount of real time and flame speed is related to engine speed as Vf=0.92constantN, where Vf is the flame speed and N is the engine speed. Calculate:
a) Flame speed at 2000 RPM.[m/sec]
b) Crank angle position when the spark plug should be fired [bTDC].
c) Crank angle position when flame propagation starts [ bTDC].
