A 6-cylinder, two-stroke, diesel engine produces 1092 hp at 360 rpm. The engine has an expansion ratio of 5, a percent clearance of 3.0%, and a mechanical efficiency of 77.3% when it is operating at 31.3 0C and 101.7 kPa standard atmospheric conditions. It is then used as a generating unit by a plant at an elevation of 3289 ft where it gave a brake heat rate of 18,530 kJ/kW-hr at k=1.37 using a fuel having a heating value of 42,000 kJ/kg.
