Abstract

A cyclic variability has long been recognized as limiting the range of operating conditions of spark ignition engines, in particular, under idling conditions. The coefficient of variation (COV) in indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) defines the cyclic variability in indicated work per cycle, and it has been found that vehicle drivability problems usually result. For analysis of the cyclic variations in spark ignition engines at idling, the results show that cyclic variability by the COV, COV of IMEP, the lowest normalized value (LNV), and burn angles can help to design the spark ignition engine.
