ABSTRACT
The paper deals with the analysis of power loss involved in an experimental single-cylinder internal combustion engine during its operation. The experimental engine has been developed and built entirely at the University for the purposes of Shell Eco-marathon. A series of experimental measurements was taken to discover the reasons for the issues we had encountered by obtaining output power characteristics and the value of compression pressure regularly at specific intervals. The data we obtained served to diagnose faults and to propose solutions for their elimination.
