Geometrical Nomenclature for Valves The instantaneous valve flow area depends on valve lift and the geometrical details of the valve head, seat and stem.
Pseudo Flow Velocity • Pseudo Flow Velocity is a parameter to study the effect of valve geometry and the rate change of cylinder volume on air flow into cylinder. • PFV is the ratio of rate of change of cylinder volume to instantaneous minimum valve flow area.
Valve Lift in General (Design) Practice : Inlet • The maximum valve lift is normally about 12% of the cylinder bore. • Inlet valve typically occurs 10 to 250 BTC. • IVO should occur sufficiently before TC so that cylinder does not dip early in the intake stroke. • IVC usually falls in the range 40 to 600 after BC. • IVC should occur sufficiently after BC, to provide more time for cylinder filing under conditions where cylinder pressure is below the intake manifold pressure at BC. • IVC one of the principal factors that determines the amount of air taken in high-speed engines.
Valve Lift in General (Design) Practice : Exhaust • EVO strongly effects the engine thermal efficiency, as it affects the effective expansion ratio. • The goal of EVO is to reduce cylinder pressure to close to manifold pressure as soon as possible. • EVC typically falls in the range 8 to 200 after TC. • EVC regulates the quantity of exhaust gases that flow back into the combustion chamber in SI engines. • It also regulates the amount of cylinder burned gases exhausted. • EVC timing should occur sufficiently far after TC so that the cylinder pressure does not rise near the end of the exhaust stroke. • Late EVC favors high power at the expense of low-speed torque and idle combustion quality.

Flow Rate Capacity of A Valve Passage • The mass flow rate through a poppet valve is described by the equation for compressible flow through a variable area restriction. • This equation is derived form a one-dimensional isentropic flow analysis. Instantaneous mass flow rate through a valve
