What are the supercharging limits for si engine and ci engine?

Limit of supercharging in si engine (1) knocking tendency in si engine increases with increase with temp pressure density of charge , mixture strength (2) compression ratio of engine needs reduced with supercharged engine but the reduced compression ratio reduce the power output output & thermal efficiency of engine with increase in s.f.c WHEREAS Limit of supercharging in CI Engines are mainly due to the thermal stresses and increased gas loading. Due to this, the heat generation and heat transfer increases and there is a greater tendency to bum the piston crown and the seat and the edges of exhaust valve. Increasing the valve overlap in supercharged engines solved this problem.
