Posted for Mark Steitle <msteitle@mail.utexas.edu>:
Ed,
If I had had this "toy" a year or so ago, I'd have done much less head
scratching (and would probably have more hair on my head today). For
those of
us that aren't real engineers, this should make this very important piece
of
the rotary installation much simpler. For me, its after the fact
(radiator
and oil cooler is installed), but it does help me sleep better knowing
that my
cooling system is sized correctly.
Thanks,
Mark
Thanks for comments, Mark
Actually, I had posted another version to the list several years ago,
but that version did not have any cooling stuff. I feel quite confident
about the HP/ Fuel Flow and BTU stuff. However, I know the cooling stuff
needs more work and I probably need a bit of help on that end of it. But,
then it is simply a mathematical model and there is LOTS of real real stuff
it does not take into account.
However, as I said I have been pleasantly surprised at how close it seems to
track with actual experience - perhaps something to be said for simple {:>)
With the data that we are nowgetting, I should be able to fine tune the
cooling side a bit more.
