AI Thread Summary
The annulus area in a compressor refers to the space between the rotor and the casing, essentially the flow area within the compressor. This term is specific to gas turbine engines, distinguishing it from other types like reciprocating compressors. The annulus is defined by two concentric circles formed by the rotor and the compressor case. Understanding the annulus area is crucial for analyzing compressor performance, particularly in relation to factors such as annulus-area ratio and blade design. Accurate calculations of this area are essential for optimizing gas turbine engine efficiency.
Came across this forum and posts by Bluechipx about his real world experience with this subject while searching the web. Am building a turbo 2-stroke for Bonneville. Would be interested in hearing from anyone else with real world dyno verified experience on the subject. Been racing 2-strokes since '67.
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo
(motorcycle derivation engine).
Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail.
The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke.
But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo.
The question is:
Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies.
Load: 4000lbs
Distance to travel: 10 meters.
Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds
Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop.
My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
