Estimation of the Operating Characteristics of a Turbocharged Four-Cycle Diesel Engine

Abstract

The operating characteristics of a turbocharged four-cycle Diesel engine are estimated by means of the equilibrium running line drawn by linking together the performance characteristics of the components of a given engine unit. In estimating the engine performance corresponding to the equilibrium running line, two methods are employed : One is the theoretical method as shown on a two-cycle engine in the preceding paper, and the other is an experimental one with an actual engine which is mechanically supercharged.
