Bigger usually entails heavier. Just be glad its not a K19 Cummins XD

Well, I think more research needs to be done here. My view, we have exhaust, head ports, piston crown, cylinder head layout, cam and valvetrain, intake route and filtering quality. Those off the top of my head will be the 'mechanism' IMO. Each fresh charge filling the cylinder will be dictated...

I will have to agree this is a key phrase when studying.

How do you create more heat from less fuel over a rich mixture? I can see heat transfer rates increasing due to thinner boundary layer however I still don't see making more heat from less fuel though.

Please explain more, I have read that adding compression to a lean fuel air mixture producing a slower burn rate compared to a rich mixture.

Good subject! Many aspects to equal one process.

Do you have any particular portion of the automobile you are looking at to specialize or are you just going to pick and go with it?

After some reading of gas dynamics the mentioning of internal energy referring to the simple gases rely on energy within the system. Example given was temperature and pressure of what a gas inside a port depends on. After that they mention what is known as a 'body force', would a turbocharger...

A thought I had was looking at how the Venturi works and how the De Laval Nozzle does too. From what I am told, flow, the only real difference is the density of the charge but improving the general idea is the same as a N/A application.

So recently I have started a project of porting diesel heads and see how well I can improve them and of course diving into fluid flow. Now, I know we are dealing with a different beast being pressurized dry-flow system, and I was told the valve job changes when you are turbocharged or...

What about both physics and an engineering view? I am thinking the two are different in the paths they take, the way you replied. Thank you for the link George. The price isn't too bad either.

In the past I have downloaded the Potto.org gas dynamics and fluid mechanics, I should get back to reading those again, not sure if they have this subject in there or not. Any ways, thanks to anyone who replies.

Right now I have been finally thinking on buying a thermodynamics book, however I don't know which, preferably beginning then progress to the meat and potatoes etc. like a normal schedule. Any titles you guys/gals would suggest me to invest in?

Oh how I couldn't and still can't stand that type of thinking! Using the same setup makes for quite the boring race amongst competitors and fans.

So you are using the valve itself for more of a shearing effect, does this intake valve run warm at all? if we inject onto something moderately warm (not glowing) we hope to have a greater shearing effect than vaporizing effect because the heat absorbed into the valve may or may not be great...
