Experimental Measurements

  • Chapter
Diesel Engine Transient Operation

Abstract

Steady-state testing involves measuring and analyzing performance at discrete points within the engine speed and load operating range using an appropriately instrumented experimental test bed; this subject has been treated in detail by Zhao and Ladommatos [1] and partly by Stone [2]. Before data are logged, the engine is allowed to settle at each operating point. A basic engine steady-state test cell, usually comprising of a single-cylinder reciprocator, typically consists of the following devices or measurement points.
