The Internal - Combustion Engine in Theory and Practice by Taylor (often considered the bible of engine design)
I want to point out that contrary to the above scan, the Continental multifuel is NOT particularly efficient as diesels go and was bettered by even the mediocre two stroke detroit:
8V92:
0.345 BSFC minimum at 1700 RPM, for an efficiency of roughly 39.8%.
0.355 BSFC at rated horsepower, for an...
The number one thing that makes it a multifuel is the compression ratio. The MAN combustion chamber is supposedly able to reduce the rate of combustion pressure rise inherent in high compression ratio diesel engines. The FDC uses the fact the the viscosity is proportional to the fuel's energy...
