Cutoff ratio in diesel engines
Hello,
Does anyone know typical values of cutoff ratio in diesel engines? And how have they evolved through time?
Thank you!

Hello Bernardo, welcome to the Thermodynamics Forum!
There is no "rule" for the cut-off ratio in the diesel engines! But yes there is limiting lower value of cut-off ratio rc = 1. The typical values of cut-off ratio I have found were between 1 and 2.5
