Experimental investigation of ignition timing on the performance and emission characteristics of a crank-rocker engine
The effects of varying the ignition timing on the performance and emissions characteristics of a crank-rocker engine were experimentally investigated. Experiments were carried out at five different ignition timings of 6.5°, 8.5°, 10.5°, 12.5°and 14.5° CA BTDC at engine speed of 2000rpm and wide...
