, if at all, during thisstage, since the piston is moving downwards, and the rise in-tempera-ture is compensated by the increase in volume. After a smallfraction of the stroke has been completed, the oil fuel is cut off bythe closing of the valve E, and the remainder of the stroke is com-pleted… … A L Fig. 482.—Indicator diagram from a Diesel marine engine. The fuel consumption of the Diesel oil engine is very low—about045 pound of fuel oil per brake-horse-power per hour. The efficiency,reckoned on the work done on the piston, is about 40 per cent., orreckoned on the useful work which the…
