Turbocharger: Mass flow rate and pressure ratio

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the relationship between pressure ratio and mass flow rate in a vehicle turbocharger's compression system. The user initially questions the applicability of Stodola's cone law for compressors, noting its relevance for turbines. They confirm that they have determined a method to calculate mass flow based on the pressure ratio. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding these parameters for effective turbocharger design. Ultimately, the user successfully finds a solution to their initial query.

Hello everyone,

i am currently dimensioning a compression system using a vehicle turbocharger and need to find a way to relate the pressure ratio of the compressor and the mass flow rate. (flows trough compressor and turbine are of course separated)

For the turbine, one can use Stodola's cone law (or ellipse Law) but i don't believe that it is valid or applicable for compressors. Am i wrong?

The inlet conditions and the pressure ratio are known.

Any ideas?

Greetings,

Charles

I figured out by myself how to calculate the mass flow as a function of the pressure ratio
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
