Initial Temperature in IC Engine Formulas

Initial Temperature can be referred as the temperature of cylinder after intake stroke or initial temperature of the charge. It is measured in absolute temperature (Kelvin-scale). And is denoted by T_i. Initial Temperature is usually measured using the Kelvin for Temperature. Note that the value of Initial Temperature is always positive.
