Evaluation of combustion parameters such as ignition delay and combustion duration to study the performance of the reciprocating engines is very important. So far there is no clear-cut method available for the evaluation of these parameters. In this paper the available methods have been reviewed and a new approach has been suggested for the determination of the ignition delay and combustion duration based on the experimental studyon a four-stroke S. I. engine using alcohol as fuel.
