Abstract

Investigations of the reaction processes during the combustion in engines and closed vessels have been the subject of many experimental and theoretical research works. First measurements of the combustion temperature in an Otto-engine were executed by G.M. Rassweiler and L. Withrow in 1935 using the line reversal method at the sodium line at 589 nm. They investigated the mechanism of knocking combustion.
