    Can there be two solutions to steady state cooling

    No. It's a PT100 thermistor going into a 10 bit AtoD

    Can there be two solutions to steady state cooling

    Patprimmer. I will try and answer those questions. 1. It is a very rigid system. It has some silicon hose (very short lengths) but these are aircraft spec and changed very regularly. 2. Ditto 3. The impeller shaft is gear driven and the impeller keyed to the shaft. Bench test results do not...

    Can there be two solutions to steady state cooling

    OK, the basics are that the car can run a number of different cooling configurations. We will always run the configuration that achieves the required heat rejection with the minimum loss of aerodynamic efficiency. Typically rad air inlet velocity is around 10 to 15% of free stream...

    Can there be two solutions to steady state cooling

    I don't think this is what is happening. It is on a race engine and the radiators are thourougly cleaned every 500 kms (air side and fluid side) The water system also operates at 3.75 bar gauge and great attention is paid to local boiling during the engine development. It also occured...

    Can there be two solutions to steady state cooling

    Has anyone come across a phenomenon whereby an engine can achieve a stabilised steady state running temperature (for both oil and water)then, due to a change in conditions run at higher temperatures, and finally not be able to return to the original steady state conditions even though all...
