Radical combustion engine characteristics studies for production engines / Ahmad Suhaimi Abd Rahim and Saqaf Ahmed Alkaff

The radical ignition (RI) process also called activated radical (AR) combustion is not exactly new, but only recently have engineers begun to exploit the process in practical power plants. These new units include a lightweight two-stroke racing motorcycle engine, truck diesels with reduced soot outp...
