Abstract
The Diesel-fuel investigation at the U. S. Naval Engineering Experiment Station, authorized by the Bureau of Engineering in 1934, has included long-time storage tests, injection-pump tests at low temperatures, cold-starting tests, physical-chemical analyses, ignition-quality tests on the Cooperative Fuel Research engine, and combustion-shock, power and economy, carbonization, exhaust-smoke, and miscellaneous fuel-performance tests on several service Diesel engines. This paper presents a brief review of some of the work done in correlating the results of the physical-chemical analyses and ignition-quality tests on the Cooperative Fuel Research engine with fuel performance in service engines.
