Use of the mathematical model of the ignition system to analyze the spark discharge, including the destruction of spark plug electrodes

Abstract

The paper presents the results of analytical and experimental studies concerning the influence of different kinds of fuel additives on the quality of the spark discharge for different configurations of the ignition system. The wear of the spark plug electrode and the value of spark discharge were determined for various impurities and configurations of the air-fuel mixture.
