what about radial turbines? wouldn't they generate more torque than thrust? also read somewhere that radial turbines are better at lower speeds.
can anyone give more details on transmission design of turbine powered cars and motorcycles?
as far as i hav read, coz they need to be at very high rpms, and no effective throttle response
but can anyone provide me more figures? more literature?
barring a few exceptions
i read that it is because they aren't effecient at small scale. can someone elaborate on that?
also, would even smaller turbines need some time to start up?
how very stupid of me. another thing, can you tell me if the indivudual particles of phosphor are at micro or nano scale? if they they are nano sized and embedded (closely packed) in a plastic sheet, would it be transparent.
well, if you look at a CRT TV turned off, you just see blackness (and a bit of reflection of the screen), not tiny red green blue dots, so i think, maybe they are transparent.
now that i have a clear idea of piston seals, i have real doubts regarding how seals are maintained in wankel engines. if there is no force pushing the apexes and side seals, how are they sealed properly?
ok.
then again, if piston heats up more and expands more, wouldn't it create enough contact stress?
you might argue that it would need precise clearances, but wouldn't you need that for seals as well?
that is what my doubt keeps coming back to. whatever function the seals are serving, could be...
yes, but wouldn't there be much less of a difference if both piston cylinder were made of cast iron? isn't that why cast iron is used in the first place? because it retains shape/size even under high temperatures? if a cast iron seal can make up for expansion difference between piston and...
ok i get it.
but what about the gaps in piston seals? do they seal off by expansion?
the seals themselves are manufactured with that clearance. would manufacturing costs really increase that much for making pistons and blocks of desired clearance?
as far as i understand, piston have cast iron seals because of the properties of cast iron, which make it a sealing material. but i was wondering, if the cylinder and piston are both made of cast iron and closely fitted together, could we avoid using seals all together?
friction doesn't depend...
i do not understand what u mean by that.
how does the pressurized system work? is the oil introduced at top and collected thru bottom while keeping the "major axis" of the epitrochoid vertical?
