Angle Calculation

AI Thread Summary

To calculate the yaw angle for a car's turning movement, various sensors can be utilized, with IMUs (Inertial Measurement Units) being a popular choice due to their accuracy in measuring angular velocity and orientation. Other options include gyroscopes and magnetometers, which can also provide reliable data for determining the yaw angle. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the specific application to recommend the most suitable sensor. Participants encourage sharing more details about the project to provide tailored advice. Selecting the right sensor is crucial for accurately measuring vehicle dynamics.

in our project, need to calculate the turn angle of car by placing some sensor on it.

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
