Density
Density is define as the mass of and object divided by its volume
Boyle’s law
For a given mass, at constant temperature, the pressure x volume = Constant ( temperature)
Relationship between pressure and volume ( temperature is a constant)
p V = C
Charles Law
If the temperature is creases the volume also increases in order to maintain the same constant (pressure)
V= C T
Density Altitude
Pressure altitude corrected for non-standard temperature variations
Aircraft fuel metering systems sensing?
The volume of air entering the engine
What effect would carb-heat have on the air/fuel mixture ?
What happens when an aircraft climbs altitude?
Induction icing
Consequents of impact Icing ?
Induction ice protection
What is MAP and where is measured
Maximum absolute pressure mesures in the induction system before the throttle valve
Engine operation in a clear cool day may become critical if the relative humidity is high because of?
Carburetor icing
Carburetor pre heater is not generally used on take off because of?
If the carburetor air temperature is to high the probable result will be?
Loss power and detonation
Where is the “hot spot”
Oil sump
Two basic measurements that define standard day are?
29.92 HG and 15 Deg. C
How will an increase in carburetor air temperature effect the BMEP?
The heated air will decrease BMEP
What is Manifold Pressure?
Is the pressure in the intake manifold of the engine.
Weight of the fuel/air mixture entering the engine cylinders is measured by manifold pressure and the temperature of the mixture
What is the relationship between MAP and HP ?
Directly proportional, as manifold pressure increases, so does horse power
What are the two main purpose for turbo-charging?
- Increase sea-level horse power
Critical altitude is ?
The maximum altitude which sea-level horsepower can be maintained
Boosted manifold pressure is any pressure above ?
-29.92 HG
Super chargers are ___________ driven blowers
Engine
Mechanical-gear or belt
Turbochargers are _______________ driven blowers?
Exhaust gas
