An investigation into the use of a compressed air loading mechanism as a means of improving the efficiency of a four stroke spark ignition internal combustion engine

Internal combustion (I.C.) engines typically exhibit a characteristic ef ciency pro le which varies with operating load and engine speed, and it is widely known that the operating ef ciency is poor under low loading conditions. The objective of this project is to investigate whether an energy stor...
