Figure 6.6 - Study of the compression ratio |
In this study, we can consider that the compression ratio is equal to:
| where |
ρ |
is the compression ratio, |
|
α′ |
is the maximum effective capacity and |
|
α′′ |
is the dead space. |
The unusable volume between the torus and the shutoff valve must be added to the dead space.
The above suggests that the shape of the turbine provides engine breaking.
