Theoretical and Numerical Study on Scavenge Characteristics from a prechamber for use in an engine

엔진 예혼합실의 소기 특성에 대한 이론 및 수치해석적 연구

In this paper, we present the theoretical and numerical results of scavenge characteristics in a small prechamber of an HCCI(Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition) engine. Two theoretical models are proposed in prediction of the scavenge time and the efficiency ; one is the non-mixing models in which it is assumed that the input gas($CH_{4}$) and the existing gas(air) do not mix with each other, and the other is the fully-mixed model in which the two gases are assumed to mix completely before ejecting to the ambient air. Focus is also given to the effect on the scavenge performance of the size of the chamber oulet.
