Hi Dan T, yeah it was the strange gas constant with no units combined with the deg F not being converted to Kelvin. I've done the equations from the start ignoring the Garrett layout & get the same answers now. I'm doing it all in mathcad hence if the units aint right the answer will not resolve...
I was having a rake through my old technical books at the weekend from my degree & low an behold : Applied Thermodynamics, Eastop & McConkey. This also seen to ref a good deal of the books mentioned above, in particular [1] & [2].
I also have found I have Modern Engine Tuning by A.Graham Bell...
Cheers Dick, I'd had a good trawl through amazon & saw the McInnes one, like you say its a bit dated, however the mechanics should not really date.
The main reason I'm after the equations is I downloaded the "advanced theory" section from the Garrett website which contains a well written...
Afternoon,
I'm currently looking for a recommendation for a suitable ref book containing combustion engine equations, mainly those pertaining to turbochaging/supercharging.
The engine I'm working on is the Honda K20A2 Engine.

Instead of supressing the features, why not just move the position of the "insert here" to the top of the model tree, and save that. Then when you open just drag the arrow to the bottom again.
Or you can make the files automatically compress by going to : tools/options....then typing in the...

Ive got a nissan Pulsar Gti-R which comes complete with large front wing and rear...
