Willans line
Willans line is an approximate equivalent of the direct
motoring test for diesel engines
Morse test
Individual cylinders in a multicyhlinder engine are cut out from
firing, and the reduction in brake torque is determined while
maintaining the same engine speed
Remaining cylinders drive the cylinder cut out
