Water injection in spark ignition engines—Impact on engine cycle

Water injection in internal combustion engines is mainly used for additional cooling of the combustion chamber and knock suppression. The main advantages of the water injection are the potential for the enhancement of the performance of the engine. Studies conducted so far have aimed to track engine...

description Water injection in internal combustion engines is mainly used for additional cooling of the combustion chamber and knock suppression.
