Effect Of Viscosity On The Cetane Number Of A Diesel Fuel, Moris Bolay Jan 1953

Effect Of Viscosity On The Cetane Number Of A Diesel Fuel, Moris Bolay

Masters Theses

"The object of this paper is to determine or rather experimentally establish the effect of a change in viscosity of a given diesel oil in regard to the ignition quality (cetane rating) of the oil.

The author did not attempt to prove why or find out how much the cetane number was affected. But, merely, tried to experimentally verify the fact that the cetane number of the fuel used underwent a change when its viscosity was decreased by preheating it.

Since his professional interests lie in the field of automotive engineering, several thesis problems were suggested to him by Dr. …
