Subject: REFLECTOR: NACA papers, water injection anyone?

>From Mean Gringo Bob:

Any interest in 263.4 lbs per square inch bmep (brake mean effective
pressure)?  At 1.5 lbs of water per pound of fuel?  Nah - old government
propaganda.  Ignore.  No useful data here.

Report presents the results of investigations conducted on a full-scale
air-cooled aircraft-engine cylinder of 202-cubic inch displacement to
determine the effects of internal cooling by water induction on the maximum
permissible power and output of an internal-combustion engine.
For a range of fuel-air and water-fuel ratios, the engine inlet pressure was
increased until knock was detected aurally, the power was then decreased 7
percent holding the ratios constant. The data indicated that water was a
very effective internal coolant, permitting large increases in engine power
as limited by either knock or by cylinder temperatures.
