QUOTE Why not run LOP, which also slows the flame front, and makes the engine run cooler and cleaner, with lower internal component stresses at any given power setting? Good reading |

as i'm sure you're aware, AVWEB, John Deakin, and George Braly (both of whom i've met...) are very well respected in the aviation community.
as you can infer from that GAMI/P&W, not everything scales as well as we'd like, and there are differences between what happens in very large, very slow, relatively low-compression engines and what happens in our small, fast, relatively higher compression engines. the relationship between power, EGT, and CHT is at times nonobvious but it's also one that's been around for a while. the GAMI/P&W chart looked pretty much like i thought it would from hearing Jake (and others) describe the dyno tuning relationships. still cool to see it in chart form, tho... |
