Matric No. :

What are the test criteria to be set in IC engine testing to compare different test samples?

1. constant volume fuel-injection test

a) For every per-injection, the volume of the fuel passing through the inlet is required to be the
same. The fuel volume for every injection is remains constant
b) The power obtain from the Dynometer is recorded for a certain RPM
c) The power obtains was compared using different test sample

2. constant load fuel-injection test

a) To generate this type of test, the load of the engine are set to be constant
b) For a constant load, set the amount of fuel required to obtain the same load set for the test.
