This paper discusses the question of cylinder size as related to all phases of diesel engine design, performance, and operation in railway and marine service. It is based primarily on intensive research in this field conducted under the direction of the author, for the past twenty years at the Sloan Laboratories for Aircraft and Automotive Engines at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Much of the material presented is based on work with several geometrically-similar engines especially constructed by M.I.T. for research in this field. Topics to be covered include the effects of cylinder size on power, size, weight, economy, reliability, fuel requirements, cooling, lubrication, wear, first cost, and maintenance costs and procedures.
