THE COMPRESSIBILITY OF MOTOR FUELS
Abstract
The compressibility of motor fuels does not obey Hooke's la ; the lower the specific gravity of the fuel, the greater its compressibility departs from Hooke's law. For relatively heavy fuels with specific gravity from 1 to about 0.835 kg/liter the dependence of alpha upon the pressure is not so great. This provides the basis for the calculations o injection f these fuels by existing methods, taking into account compressibility of average alp a. In the calculation of injection of fuel with a specific gravity of less than 0.835 kg/liter to neglect the dependence of alpha upon the pressure will cause a significant error in the calculation and shows the need of some correction in existing methods of calculation. In the choice of a value for the velocity of sound for the calcury to take into account the specific gravity of the fuel. (Author)
