    Thermal efficiency of the compression stroke of the Otto 4 cycle?

    dcasto: Ummm at a 9:1 static compression ratio you would theoretically get an increase in temperature of roughly 280 degrees C but since a static compression ratio of 9:1 only gets a dynamic compression ratio of about 7:1 and the piston is roughly 65-70% efficient the temperature increase is...

    ITBs + Turbo with Speed Density ECU

    wgknestrick: I was referring to the solid works pictures of your IC. It is too simple not enough surface area and too much internal volume. As to it's size it looks to be big enough. The picture of JUN's Subaru shows how your intercooler should look. lots of relatively thin air passages...

    Endothermic/Exothermic new combustion cycle.

    I have a need for some smart chemical professionals! My problem: I am in the process of making a test system to test a new combustion cycle. The problem is that I need a few chemicals and they need to have certain special qualities. First: I need to know if there are any endothermic processes...

    two small turbos better than one big turbo(?)

    Technically a single turbo is more efficient. several things are in it's advantage: less surface area for heat to escape before it enters the turbine, better flow/inertia ratio, less total system weight, higher compression efficiency possible, higher air pressure/flow rates for the backpressure...

    Thermal efficiency of the compression stroke of the Otto 4 cycle?

    Actually very little heat generated by compression is lost to the cooling system on the compression stroke. Graphs showing internal pressures tend to show this (as they show an increase of pressure from the dynamic compression as well as the thermal energy increase) Compression in todays engines...

    ITBs + Turbo with Speed Density ECU

    Ok if you have the Hydra nemisis ECU you should be able to create a map that based from information from one cylinder can control 4 injectors (hydra should be able to control up to 8) You can then run a simple "cheat" to get the fueling right when you are running >25% Throttle and 0 psi...

    Maximum exhaust velocity entering turbine..??

    Basically the major limiting factor is the speed of sound at the density of your exhaust gas. You need to know the temperature and flow that you are going to get out the exhaust port. Once you know these factors the speed of sound is an easy equation away. The SoS in your average exhaust gas...
