Abstract
The thermodynamic approach to combustion and the rate of rise of pressure in the Otto cycle are fruitful in analyzing the effect of different conditions upon the operation of the cycle. It is suggested that the thermodynamic method is an important tool in explaining and analyzing known characteristics such as “engine knock”, roughness, and the effect of supercharging on the relative knock ratings of different types of fuels, and also a means of predicting characteristics of such combustion cycles as in the case of the critical initial temperature giving maximum rate of rise of pressure.
