AI Thread Summary
To calculate torque versus crank angle for a Wankel engine, determining the pressure values p1, p2, and p3 is crucial. The application of the PV diagram for an ideal cycle may not directly apply to a Wankel rotary engine due to its unique design. While the four strokes are conceptually similar to those in a piston engine, the three-chambered rotary engine requires specific assumptions that differ significantly. Accurate pressure values can be derived from experimental data or simulations tailored to the Wankel engine's characteristics. Understanding these nuances is essential for effective torque calculations in this type of engine.

i want to calculate the torque vs crank angle for wankel engine...however i get stuck on entering the pressure value which is p1,p2,p3...how can i determine the pressure value?

You might have a problem applying the PV diagram for an ideal cycle to a wankel rotary. Although the 4 'strokes' are the same and are governed by the same rules, the 3 chambered rotary will require assumtions that deviate quite a long way from a piston engine.
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
