    Effects of temperature/pressure on power output

    How much power would be produced when using an independently powered supply of 100 pound/min air at 3bar/40F air on a 6.2L GM LS V8. Excess air will be vented to atmosphere with relief valves to stabilize the air flow to the throttle valve. What are the factors need to be considered...

    Exact Purpose of Hemispherical Heads?

    Yes. The hemi head design allows a much better port to valve design and a permits a central spark plug placement in the cylinder. This permits a very straight port to valve design This design has dominated NHRA top fuel drag racing for the last 50 years.

    Liquid rocket gas generator question

    NASA made a steam generator for the Stennis center that consisted of the injector head of a flight engine installed in a straight pipe with water injection jets at the bottom to inject water against the gas flow to make steam. I want to make a similar setup to make 35 lb/sec@ 1700F steam. I...

    Liquid rocket gas generator question

    I am building a liquid fueled rocket engine driven gas generator. I plan to use gasoline for fuel and oxygen gas at a rate of .022lb/sec and O2 at .055lb/sec The chamber is 2.15 in long 1.15 in id with a .238 nozzle. The chamber pressure should be 300 psi with a thrust of 20 pounds. I calculate...
