    Small combustion chamber heat transfer model setup

    Hello, I'd like some help in developing a theoretical model of heat transfer and thermal time constant for a small combustion chamber. The system consists of a cylindrical chamber, bounded by a stainless steel body where Vbody >> Vchamber. Gases used are a stoichiometric mix of hydrogen and...

    Electronic valve/spark timing

    crysta1c1ear: Thanks for your post, mis-type correction should have been 'Close outlet @ 20-30deg after TDC' not before. There will be some overlap to allow scanvenging, I think thats what it is called. I've not considered soft landing for my values, as it stands I'm having difficulting getting...

    Electronic valve/spark timing

    Warpspeed: I don't have a classic rotating crank shaft, rather I have an actuator/sensor, where the sensor phase can be used to extract power.

    Electronic valve/spark timing

    Hello I am building a 4-stroke engine and I am looking to use electronically (software) controlled valves, spark ignition and piston. Basically replace the camshaft and crackshaft with electronics/actuators. My current system has no feedback in terms of O2 sensor and so is not very intelligent...

    Switching between 200V and Low Voltage Sensor

    Hi all, I'm new here, so I'd like to thank anyone for their advice given. I am having a problem trying to design a circuit to switch between connections to my piezoelectric device. Basically I can use it as an actuator and a sensor. Electrically I think a piezoelectric can be thought of as a...
