Willian's line method is used to find the friction power of the engine. In
willin's line method, we plot the graph of specific fuel consumption to
the torque(brake). we then extrapolate the graph(which is partially a
straight line) to zero specific fuel consumption and note down the
torque which gives us the approximate value of friction power. The
figure given below gives you some clarity.

I tried finding this on internet and just got one thing that it's because
rate of consumption of air is variable in S.I. engine. Why? I don't know
yet, but will get back to you in a couple of days with all knowledge and if
you come to know anything, let me know that as it sounds an
interesting topic to me to explore.

From what I could recollect from the other answer, its probably because
this method is based on an assumption somewhat as listed below.
This air consumption is variable in SI engine because air fuel mixture is
sent into the engine in a particluar ratio and since fuel required at all
rpm is not same in SI enigne this air consumption changes too.
P.S. ignore the spelling errors for I have typed it freom my mobile.

Its definitely a lot worse for the diesel engine. First of all, you can't fill a
petrol car with diesel by mistake. Diesel nozzles are bigger than the
filler neck on petrol cars. Also, there is a... Read More
