That is exactly what I was looking for! I downloaded the software called GetData Graph Digitizer & it works perfectly. It recognizes images of graphs and generates (x,y) data points for them. Just plug that data into Excel & do a regression curve fit & bingo! This will save me hours of work...
Haha you are definitely right there. Actually doesn't the 2nd law of thermo show isentropic processes to be impossible? Although I'm sure those crazy quantum theory guys would argue differently.
Does anyone know if there is a software program that I can find/buy somewhere that can
recognize an image of a curve and generate a 2D Cartesian equation for it?
In my line of work I am constantly referencing these regular 2d graphs (power vs resistance graphs for thermoelectric modules)...
I’ve recently become fascinated by high power density energy conversion devices… I was looking at the 100W incandescent light bulb lamp on my desk as 90% of its energy was being wasted as heat and started thinking… I know it is only a rather small amount of energy, but what would be the most...
Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm betting that at least one of my professors can get me access to a flow bench.
And you make a very good point. I don't want to waste my time making unreasonable calculations. I only have four and a half months (one semester) to design my project, develop a...
Sorry, not trying to be a hypocrite by hating on you. It just kinda seemed like a littttle bit of a douche comment... Just sayin :/ But you thank you for the help!
I wanted to get exhaust flow parameters so that I could develop a model of BMW's "turbosteamer" concept for a senior design...
I know I said only 3 more questions :blushing: but I have to ask... you said you "have no problems sharing this kind of data with customers who ask," if you don't mind me asking, what is it that you do for work? Being a mechanical engineering student, I'm always curious about what different...
Thanks a ton. Very VERY helpful response. Just 3 more questions... How might I go about estimating the exhaust pressure? Do you think I could apply Bernouli's Equation and/or the Ideal Gas Law? If so, how would I get my density value?
Does anyone know any sources (i.e. car manufacturers) that provide the exhaust air flow parameters for the some specific car engines? I need stats on various otto & diesel cycle engines (small compact car engines, large semi truck engines, etc.). When I say exhaust air flow parameters, I need to...
