Level Correction for I.C. Engine Cylinder Pressure Trace

The example shows step-by-step how adjust the level of measured in-cylinder pressure traces assuming a polytropic compression of the gas.

When measuring in-cylinder pressure on an I.C. (internal combustion) engine, pressure transducer drift can cause the measured values to be shifted up or down to the incorrect absolute pressure values. The example contains the necessary steps to adjust the pressure level assuming a polytropic process during the early portion of the compression stroke.
