what constitutes a chamber?
 

 
A rotor face.
 
I disagree, but this is irrelevant.

 
 
The true thermodynamic eqivalent is a 3.9L 6 cyl motor spi= ning at 1/3 eshaft speed.
 
no, 2/3 e-shaft speed

 
You may choose a 1.3 L 6 cylinder spin= ing 3 times as fast if you like and get the same numbers.
 
no, twice e-shaft speed.

 
You may also choose a 2.6 L spining 2/= 3 as fast
 
No, a 2.6 L spinning AT e-shaft speed.  That is why I claim that = the rotary is a 2.6 L equavelent.  I don't understand this "prete= nd that the RPM is something different".
