Auto-Ignition and Combustion of Diesel Fuel in a Constant-Volume Bomb
This is a 1938 NASA technical report on diesel fuel auto-ignition and combustion tested in a constant-volume bomb, issued through the NASA Technical Reports Server for engineers and researchers. Its three pictures are a log-scale style graph of ignition lag against air density at four temperatures, pressure-time oscillograph traces, and a labelled schematic of the fuel injection apparatus with lettered parts and a pressure gauge; a designer might take the clean grid-plot and annotated-diagram conventions as models for technical charts.
