AI Thread Summary
To measure the amount of heat entering a system with air at a constant temperature and known flow rate, additional data is required, specifically the specific heat capacity of the air. The heat transfer can be calculated using the formula Q = m * Cp * ΔT, where m is the mass flow rate, Cp is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the temperature change. In the given example, with air at 330K and a flow rate of 30CFM, the heat entering can be determined if the temperature change is known. Without considering heat dissipation or exit heat, the focus remains solely on the energy transfer into the system. Accurate measurements and calculations are essential for determining the heat entering the system effectively.

If air at a constant temperature is entering the system at a known flow rate, Can we measure the amount of heat entering the system.

For example, air at 330K is entering a system with a constant flow rate of 30CFM, can I measure heat entering this system. (Let just say we are not considering the heat dissipation or heat leaving from the system for now)

Or do I need more data to find heat entering this system?

Is not heat the amount of energy that is transferred from one system to another?
 
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
