Abstract
In this paper, a model which describes the behaviour of the pressure, density and temperature of a gas mixture in a rapid compression machine is developed and analyzed. The model consists of a coupled system of nonlinear partial differential equations, and both formal asymptotic and numerical solutions are presented. Using asymptotic techniques, a simple discrete algorithm which tracks the time evolution of the pressure, temperature and density of the gas in the chamber core is derived. The results which this algorithm predict are in good agreement with experimental data.
