find that any reduction in IAT from fuel vaporization at the
cylinder
induction port will be insignificant.
Walter,
Hmmmmm.... You were quite willing to point out earlier that the
final induction air temperature in a carburetor remained quite
low (the FAA requirement is what, a 50F, 80F min rise from carb heat as
measured after vaporization?) even though I now know that the searing
temperature of air from the heat muff raises the pre-vaporization air temp quite
a bit.
I guess the only thing to do insert a probe in the cylinder just after
injector vaporization or do a calculation (now my head is hurting) on gas
cooling effects.
If only my copy of Taylor, Vol 1 would get here.
