    This document contains the results of tests conducted on a multi-cylinder four stroke diesel engine test rig. Table 1 shows the observed values of various parameters like load, speed, temperatures, mass flow rates etc. at different load conditions. Table 2 shows the calculations of various efficiencies, heat and power values based on the observed data in Table 1. The calculations include mechanical efficiency, brake thermal efficiency, indicated thermal efficiency, heat carried by exhaust, heat equivalent of fuel etc. Sample calculations are shown for one of the test conditions.
