Summary

The knock-limited inlet-manifold pressure and the mixture temperature corresponding to constant knock-limited inlet-manifold pressure were less sensitive to change in exhaust-to-inlet-manifold pressure ratio at a fuel-air ratio of 0.080 than at 0.066.
An investigation was conducted to determine the effect of exhaust pressure on the knock-limited performance of an air-cooled aircraft-engine cylinder.
