HE CYLINDER 313 pounds absolute, or 88.4 pounds by the gauge. The calculatedefficiency is therefore not much less than the efficiencies found forother examples; it is notable that the efficiency is nearly thesame as that calculated on page 307 for an engine with separatecompression to 90 pounds by… … Fig. 72. which was taken from an Otto engine in the laboratory of theMassachusetts Institute of Technology. During the fillingstroke, the pressure in the cylinder is less than that of the atmos-phere; the charge is ignited just before the end of the compressionstroke, and the explosion though rapid…
