The problem ran well with the incompressible gas, however it does not work when I convert to ideal gas. I have...

    Could you explain the effect of thermodynamics on a cars performance?

    A couple of points... The first is of course the density. The lower the temperature, the higher the density. That means you get more air into your inlet manifold per unit volume... Thus, the more air yyou have, the more fuel you need. The more fuel you get, the more power you get. That is the...
