Title: RAILPLUG IGNITION SYSTEM FOR ENHANCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND REDUCED MAINTENANCE

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/821852· OSTI ID:821852

During the first 6 months of this project, four subtasks were scheduled. Two of these commenced earlier than originally proposed. The experimental task, development of new railplug designs, was completed on schedule. The three numerical subtasks were not completed on schedule. However, this is not expected to affect the capability to complete the overall project on schedule. Because we are early in the project, no results or conclusions were generated. Our progress included development of new railplug geometries, to be tested during the second 6 months of the project, and development of an initial 3D model. Progress was also made in development of the appropriate chemical kinetics and generation of a model for the ignition circuit.
