Abstract :

In the present work, first a Polytropic-Based Blowby Model (PBBM) was validated using a Thermodynamic Simulation Code (TSC). Then, using the results extracted from a single-cylinder SI research engine, the P- of an Ensemble Average Cycle (EAC) was calculated the experimental cycles. The crevice flow rates of the EAC were estimated using both codes. The results showed a good agreement between them.
