regu<strong>la</strong>ted for pressures up to 40 bar. The dynamic response of the sensor is 2 µs. The<br />

signal acquisition is ma<strong>de</strong> by a digital oscilloscope with memory (Tektronix TDS 420A).<br />

The acquisition frequency may be varied from 10-200 kHz <strong>de</strong>pending on the duration of<br />

the phenomena.<br />

Pressure measurements are used to evaluate the quality of the <strong>combustion</strong> and the<br />

burning velocity in the constant volume method.<br />

3.1.4 Rapid compression machine<br />

A rapid compression machine (RCM) is an instrument to simu<strong>la</strong>te a single cycle of an<br />

internal <strong>combustion</strong> engine, thus also allowing the study of spontaneous ignition un<strong>de</strong>r<br />

more comparable conditions than those existing in real engines (Strozzi et al., 2008).<br />

The rapid compression machine of the Institute Pprime used in this work has the<br />

following configuration (Fig.3.3). All the characteristics of the RCM are summarized in<br />
