Abstract: The flame propagation rate resulting from a combustion event in the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine is controlled by modulation of the heat transfer from the combustion flame to the combustion chamber walls. In one embodiment, heat transfer from the combustion flame to the combustion chamber walls is mechanically modulated by a movable member that is inserted into, or withdrawn from, the combustion chamber thereby changing the shape of the combustion chamber and the combustion chamber wall surface area. In another embodiment, heat transfer from the combustion flame to the combustion chamber walls is modulated by cooling the surface of a portion of the combustion chamber wall that is in close proximity to the area of the combustion chamber where flame speed control is desired.

Abstract: In a multi cylinder internal combustion engine comprising a cylinder head internally defining exhaust passages and a converging area into which the exhaust passages converge, an upper water jacket and a lower water jacket are formed above and below the exhaust passages, and the lower water jacket has a greater volume than the upper water jacket. Thus, the cooling efficiency for the converging area can be improved by increasing the volume of the part of the water jacket adjacent to the converging area. Also, because the upper water jacket has a relatively small volume, the load on the core parts supporting the core part for defining the upper water jacket can be reduced, and the overall mechanical strength of the core can be improved. By extending the water jackets to the converging area, the cooling efficiency can be improved even further.

Abstract: A cylinder head for an engine having a two-plane water jacket in which a lower chamber at one plane through the head cools the fire deck of each cylinder and a cross-flow passage for the coolant is spaced above the lower chambers in a second plane through the head directs coolant to an outlet.
