Eight sizes ranging from 190 cfm to 424 cfm were made, all with synchronized venturis, variously with manual, electric, or automatic hot-air chokes. The design incorporates a feature called Annular Fuel Discharge, which greatly reduces the likelyhood of hesitation and flat spots under acceleration.
Standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) is the molar flow rate of a gas expressed as a volumetric flow at a "standardized" temperature and pressure thus representing a fixed number of moles of gas regardless of composition and actual flow conditions.
Cutaway view of an air-start motor of a General Electric J79 turbojet. With air-start systems, gas turbine engine compressor spools are rotated by the action of a large volume of compressed air acting directly on the compressor blades or driving the engine through a small, geared turbine motor. These motors can weigh up to 75% less than an ...
In piston engines, static compression ratio is determined using the cylinder volume when the piston is at the top and bottom of its travel. The compression ratio is the ratio between the maximum and minimum volume during the compression stage of the power cycle in a piston or Wankel engine.
