Correlation of Mixture-Temperature Data Obtained From Bare Intake-Manifold Thermocouples

Abstract

The degree to which mixture-temperature data may be reduced to algebraic terms is demonstrated and correlated in terms of the several pertinent engine-operating and design variables. A relatively simple equation has been found to express, with fair accuracy, variation in manifold-charge temperature with change in engine operating conditions. This equation and associated curves have been checked by multicylinder data, both test stand and flight, over a wide range of operating conditions.
