That does make some sense, think i need to read it a few more times though lol
So if the velocity is increased the pressure at the inlet P1 drops?
The surge i was experiencing was as the turbo came on boost from low revs, apply full throttle at say 2.5-3k rpm in 4th gear so the engine is...
Thats what's confusing me though, if a 90 degree bend has the effect of reducing flow why does it appear to increase it in this instance?
Also, I would have thought the increase in velocity would help reduce the pressure difference across the compressor blades, if there was a large pressure...
I'm trying to get my head round something that happens when you fit different inlets to a particular turbo.
If you fit a straight inlet pipe with a fairly large bore, possibly 50-60mm the velocity of the air entering the compressor is relatively slow. This causes the turbo to go into what's...
Thanks for the reply, the 90deg bend I'm looking at is swept so it doesn't have a square edge on the inside as in the T-shape union shown in the photo you attached. Do you mean that the velocity through this type of bend is more complicated? From the photo you attached i can see appreciate how...
Hi,
Firstly i don't really know anything about fluid dynamics so go easy on me :shy:
In simple terms how does air flow through a 90 degree bend? ie where is it moving faster? I initially thought it would be along the outside wall as it has further to travel.
If it makes and odds it's an...
