What reading level is Elements of Aviation Engines book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To protect the highly polished bearing sur- faces it may be necessary to ascertain if any acid has remained in the oil. A simple way of testing is to wash a sample of the oil with warm water and test the water with litmus paper. The presence of any acid will result in the paper being turned pink.
Lubricating oil we are accustomed to think of as being only mineral oil. With the develop- ment of aviation engines, castor oil, which is a vegetable oil, has received considerable atten- tion. This oi...l, which has a gravity of 96 Baume and a flash point a little higher than most mineral oils, will thicken to a marked de- gree upon standing. When heated it will readily oxidize and exhibit acid properties, rendering it of little use in engines where the oil is used over and over again. Its universal use in rotary engines is due to the fact that it will not unite with gasoline. In these engines the crank case is filled with gasoline vapor which tends to wash off any mineral oil that is supplied to the bearings.
