Frictional Compressible Flow Through Inlet Valve The real gas flow effects are included by means of an experimentally determined discharge coefficient CD. When the flow is chocked:
Discharge Coefficient: The value of CD and the available minimum flow area Amin are linked together. The product CD . Amin is the effective flow area of the valve assembly, AE.

Thermodynamic Parameters Vs Volumetric Efficiency The volumetric efficiency is a function of Intake mixture pressure pi. Intake mixture Temperature Ti. Fuel/ air ratio (F/A). Compression ratio r. Exhaust pressure, pe. Where m is the mass of mixture in the cylinder at the end of intake stroke.
Effect of Fuel composition, Phase & Fuel/air Ratio In a SI engine, the presence of gaseous fuel and moisture in the intake system reduces the air partial pressure below the mixture pressure. For a mixture:
