pneumatic actuators would be best for the job, you would need only 2 of them...they will eliminate the shift-stick entirely & would be fast and easy for the driver.
Yes I did, but only designed the cam profiles as the whole idea was scraped due to complexity in functioning & undue expenditures involved with not so improved operational ease & efficiency.
What are you working on?
It can't be the inlet valve/spring as the engine is brand new one...but I'll check it anyways.
And now I see that both power loss & smoky fuel problems can be due to improper valve timings & of course the exhaust is faulty too.
I am facing this RPM problem with my single-cylinder engine(Duke's) that I have used in my project..
Even though the ECU is programmed to allow RPM upto 12,000 revs but still engine can only reach 6,000 when the clutch is engaged...it can go near to 12,000 only while the clutch is disengaged...
i am too stuck in a similar situation..have u arrived at any conclusion yet?
& how did u decide the specification u stated..like the heat dissipation rate, coolant flow rate, speed..?:confused::confused:
this is for the SUPRA FSAE car...
i know the avg. max speed the car going to be driven, but air speed through the radiator core will be different due to all the contact area & flow hindrances...wouldn't that matter in the calculations??
i m a little inexperienced:redface:..do you know how to...
mine is an 796cc, 3 cylinder, 37 bhp (max at 5000 rpm) petrol engine.
and for the air flow speed..i could do what you suggested..probably using DittusBoelter Equation, but I wanted to calculate the radiator size needed for the engine cooling...so I need to know the air flow rate (i.e. volume...
I read somewhere that..what someone usually does is that he divides the engine power in bhp by 3 & the result is coolant flow rate in L/min. e.g. 300 bhp engine would have 100 L/min of coolant flow rate...
but how to calculate the airflow through the radiator core at a given car speed...
Does anyone have an idea about how to find the coolant flow rate in the car?? Any theoretical method..
And the volume flow rate of air through the radiator?
someone please solve this problem too..both the followers being attached to the same shift lever going to move left/right or fore/aft accordingly with the other follower...how to deal with that?:confused:
one more thing...if i install 2 radiators on both sides...would it be better to have pumping in both the radiators in parallel or series configuration??
