ConnClark that graph seems to lack some details, what year is it from 1972 and who made it and in what century was he born, how would we know if that person has a clue. Very weak, too be mild.

Here is the full report. http://aerade.cranfield.ac.uk/ara/1937/naca-tn-619.pdf

The basic laws of thermodynamics hasn't changed since it was written in 1937.

Your turn to find a report written by a younger person using a newer diesel engine that contradicts it.

Without getting too far off topic, keep in mind that some mods affect diesels & gassers differently. WAI/CAI is a good example.

The primary way that a WAI heps a gasser is due to the fact that the warmer air forces the throttle further open to get back to the same AFR, thereby reducing the throttling losses. Diesels, on the other hand do not have a throttle and do no run at constant AFR.
