✦ Synopsis


An instrument to measure time-resolved fuel-air ratio in the vicinity of a spark plug was developed. Properties of absorption and scattering at the wavelengths of visible and infrared rays were utilized to determine the fuel-air ratio in the mixture including liquid and vaporized fuel. The measurement error of the instrument was within 10% as a result of comparison between the overall and the measured fuel-air ratio at the vicinity of the spark plug under the inlet port injection, which forms a relatively homogeneous mixture. The instrument was applied to a direct injection gasoline engine and the mixture formation process was clarified.
