olutions, 3614; mean pressure on torque arm, 128.5lb.; duration of run, 3.59 min.; speed, 1007 r.p.m. Thegasoline economy for this run figures out as follows: _il^:^ = 0.517 lb. p.hp.-h.128.5X3614 The question came up as to whether a correctionfactor should be applied to this result, the same asis… … 240,000 119.5 X 3934 = 0.51 lb. 240,000115X4036 = 0.517 1b. A test run made at half load (60 lb. brake beam pressure)gave a relative fuel consumption of 0.715 lb. p.hp.-h. Assuming a heat value of 19,000 B.t.u. for the gaso-line used, the brake thermal efficiency corresponding tothe lowest fuel…
