The effect of ignition timing on engine performance and combustion behaviour of LPG-SI engine using lsi system

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is one of the potential alternative fuels for Spark Ignition (SI) due to its availability and acknowledged superior properties compared to the gasoline. However, implementing the latest generation of LPG on the SI engine, which uses liquid sequential injection (LSI) in...
