Abstract
Techniques of measuring air flow through inlet ducts of diesel engines and tangential air velocities in the cylinder are investigated. An impulse wheel anemometer and conical pressure pick-up are used to measure steady flow velocities. Air velocities in the combustion chamber are evaluated from dynamic pressure variations indicated by tensometric pick-ups. Chemical changes of the fuel during combustion in the cylinder are studied with the help of spectrographic analysis. The evaporation rate of fuel injected into the cylinder is measured by analysis of fuel luminescence.Keywords
