60# in the nose... He's already having unstick issues with the nose wheel. He won't get the nose wheel off the runway till 100...
Further, I'm not an engineer, just a farm kid that went to Iowa State. But here's some farmer math. Raising 50# of water 150 degrees is 7500 btus. The specific heat of 50/50 coolant is actually less than 1, but I'll give him 1.0. There are 139000 btus in a gallon of diesel. That .053 gallons of fuel. If the engine rejects 25% of its energy as heat in the cooling system that means he can burn an additional quart of fuel before he gets hot. At 20 gph on T/O that's about 90 seconds more time. That means instead of a take-off and turn back, now he can fly the pattern. If he can get the nose wheel off the ground...
As I said a long time ago, this is like watching a Greek Tragedy.

The only real reason to compound turbo a small engine is to use a small turbo to spool the big turbo to reduce turbo lag. His ground roll is so long I don't think turbo lag is anything to worry about. He will make more power with 2 small turbos one on each side.

He put a lot of hours on the engine in the test stand under load but I think we was using a 55 gal drum of water or something to not recycle the coolant. Can't remember exactly... Username Protected wrote: I don’t get why you would need a small turbo for aircraft. The only benefit of the small turbo over the larger ones is response. Why do you need throttle response in a plane? Turbo props have slow throttle response and they seem to work fine.
I will admit I am a supercharger guy not a turbo guy. I don’t see any reason to have two inline. I get twin turbos, one for each side, but two on one exhaust seems to be a mess.
As Tony noted the compound turbo arrangement was intended to provide enough boost at FL250 to make full power or something around there. The RED A03 diesel engine, planned for the Otto Celera 500L uses a twin stage turbo design, but it has a ceiling of FL500. Quote: Increased Take-Off Performance

Icarus would imply that the plane climbed high enough to get warmed up by the sun

Not really, look at this example from Garrett. Look at the corrected airflow by just going from sea level to 15,000 ft. There might not be a single turbo match that works well for the 3.0 L TDI at low and high attitudes. You can run a compound turbo and get all around performance.

Anyone who runs a complex model once and thinks they've learned something useful, is either really, really experienced at creating the mesh and boundaries, or is in way over their head. What does it mean to say an area is real or can be disregarded? As a layman, I would think the only unknowns would result from the limitations in resolution of the airflow and model? If someone who really understood CFD modeled this airplane and simulated it would they be able to figure out how fast it should go given a certain power output, or is that subjective?

Right Tony, you need a VGT for this kind of change in altitude. Very feasible to do it right. Not feasible to do it right without the right staff, modelling tools, test equipment, and funding.

But it may get hot enough...
I think Raptor is the reverse Rocinante. Noble Steed reduced to chicken wire and steel angles.

CFD is not required to determine the probable speed(s) vs HP. The rules of thumb that have existed for decades can reasonably predict those performance curves. Peter believes that the rules of physics do not apply to his work. Several have attempted to politely point out his mistakes, but he doubles down and trundles on.
Modeling and computer simulations whether FEA, CFD, computational chemistry (etc) are not as deterministic as you apparently expect. Engineering assumptions and mesh’ing changes can both have unanticipated and out-sized effects ... and the (cough) answers may be conflicting/confounding. Resolving such matters requires considerable experience and insight. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
