  2. Engineering of Ignition Temperature 25 C 0 

  3. Type of Fuel Vs Traditional Combustion Strategy • Highly volatile with High self Ignition Temperature: Spark Ignition. • Ignition after thorough mixing of air and fuel. • Less Volatile with low self Ignition Temperature: Compression Ignition , Almost simultaneous mixing & Ignition.

  4. Spark Ignition System Edmond Berger invented an early spark plug on February 2, 1839.

  5. Paschen Curve : 1889 Paschen found that breakdown voltage was described by the equation Where V is the breakdown voltage, p is the pressure, d is the gap distance. The constants a and b depend upon the composition of the gas. For air at standard atmospheric pressure of 101 kPa, a = 43.6×106 V/(atm·m) and b = 12.8. What is supplied by an Ignition System ?

  6. Theoretical & Practical Minimum Spark Energy • The minimum ignition energy is a measure of required energy for a localised ignition source to successfully ignite a fuel-air mixture. • The ignition energy depends on the fuel concentration. • For most combustible fuels the minimum ignition energy is between 0.1 and 0.3 mJ in normal ambient air. • The practical minimum energy required to ignite a air-fuel mixture is much higher. • Effect of Various Parameters on MIE: • Distance Between Electrodes • Fuel • Equivalence Ratio • Initial Temperature • Air Movement
