The Influence of Exhaust Pressure on Knock-Limited Performance

Report discussing testing on two types of single cylinders to determine the effect of the relation of exhaust pressure to inlet-air pressure on knock-limited performance. Variables explored included exhaust pressure, fuel-air ratio, and engine speed. Three types of fuels were also used to explore the effect of exhaust pressure on fuel ratings.
