AI Thread Summary
To measure the amount of heat entering a system with air at a constant temperature and known flow rate, additional data is required, specifically the specific heat capacity of the air. The heat transfer can be calculated using the formula Q = m * Cp * ΔT, where m is the mass flow rate, Cp is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the temperature change. In the given example, with air at 330K and a flow rate of 30CFM, the heat entering can be determined if the temperature change is known. Without considering heat dissipation or exit heat, the focus remains solely on the energy transfer into the system. Accurate measurements and calculations are essential for determining the heat entering the system effectively.

If air at a constant temperature is entering the system at a known flow rate, Can we measure the amount of heat entering the system.

For example, air at 330K is entering a system with a constant flow rate of 30CFM, can I measure heat entering this system. (Let just say we are not considering the heat dissipation or heat leaving from the system for now)

Or do I need more data to find heat entering this system?

Is not heat the amount of energy that is transferred from one system to another?
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

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...
