What is the average flow rate of water in an IC engine's water jackets?

AI Thread Summary
The average flow rate of water in an internal combustion engine's water jackets varies based on engine size, type, and speed. Typical flow rates can reach around 600 liters per minute for certain engines. The discussion highlights engines ranging from 500 to 4,000 horsepower. Participants emphasize the need for detailed questions to receive more specific answers. Overall, understanding these variables is crucial for accurate assessments of flow rates in IC engines.

Depends on the size of the engine, the type of engine, and the speed it's going.

The ones I deal with flow at something like 600 litres per minute.
 
thanks a bunch. you're a dood
 
\m/. umm which are the ones you deal with? 300 hp engines?
 
Between 500hp and about 4,000hp.

Yes I'm a dude, as are lots of the people here. However this isn't psychicsforums.com and you need to put some more detail into your questions if you want some more detailed answers.

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

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...

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

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...
