Is it possible to use the principles of the heat absorption refrigerator with the heat provided by contact with a automotive exhaust manifold? My car has turbo motor with a front mount intercooler trying to cool down the 10-14psi of pressurized air. Is it possible to gain additional intake...

I278 - Thanks for the CAFE info, some very good info! I have the NACA duct in the lower shrowds so that it will not "ingest" from the road surface. MATT0000- I have upgraded my motor to that of a Rally car turbo charged motor. The engine bay is small and the Underhood temps are much...

I am trying to find the most efficient design to get the hot air out of my engine bay via the front fenders. So given, the same exhaust dimensions, is a single large opening (i.e. reversed "mouth" or viper style vent): more efficient then the multi louvered "shark gill&quot...

Thanks for your insight! Is there an NACA inlet equivalent designed to extract instead of induce?

Is this an efficient way to extract air? Im afraid I don't have an email system that would handle a 16MB file. Do you have a link to the NASA site that it might be posted on?

I was wondering where I might look up info on vent designs. Specifically, I need to vent my engine compartment. I do not want to use hood vents. I am looking at differing fender side vents from various vehicles. I was wondering how efficent multi-louver(BMW Z3 style)compare to a large opening...

Is there an efficient "fender vent" design that allows heat to escape the engine compartment comprable to the direct overhead vent? I would like to avoid rain running directly over my turbo.
