...this is more of an informational question, but what 'real' beneft(s) is there to the Watts Z-Link rear suspension that GM has installed in their North American Cruze cars?
...it's an economy car, so "high-performance" road handling seems rather dubious.
...any "real-world" users have comments?
...seeking "old" historical test information about aspen/excelsior pads as used with evaporative coolers.
...seeking data such as saturation efficiency versus: (a) pad thickness, (b) pad density; (c) pad area; (d) air flow rate; and (e) water flow rate.
...vaguely recall some tests being done...
...I'm aware the specific gas constant for 'pure' air without water vapor is 287.0 J/(kg*K), but what is it for todays' typical (a) intake air+fuel mixture at max HP and max FE; and (b) exhaust gas with typical EGR? Are they the same, similar or vastly different values (only need integer...
...got a question concerning the "proper" technical names for the 'intermediate' results derived in the following equation used to describe vacuum tube power conditions:
PWR = (Idc + Iac)*(Vdc - Vac)
where:
Idc = 0.058A at idle
Iac = 0.210A(rms) at maximum power
Vdc = 450Vdc at idle
Vac =...
I'm doing historical research on drag racing and wonder if anybody recalls the magazine and issue in which the late Roger Huntington first published his "dream wheel" empirical equations for estimating a cars ET and MPH its WT and HP, ie:
MPH = 225*(HP/WT)^(1/3)
ET = 6.29*(WT/HP)^(1/3)
...CAR...
...although this is probably a WX-question, does anybody know of ANY equations (empirical or not) for directly estimating Wetbulb Temperature?
...the ONLY one I've found is this (E.A.Anderson,1968):
Tw = T - (T - Td)*(0.12 + 0.008*T)...all in degrees-F.
...all I'm seeking is reasonable...
