Is it possible to calculate the steam demand of an engine? I would guess that it would involve cylinder displacement and RPM I want to run it at x(number of cylinders), as well as pressure, but that's when I get fuzzy.
I'm very new at this, but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that if you are running 60psi in on the intake line the actual pressure in the cylinder at BDC is less than that, so how do you calculate that?
Can you calculate that?
And if you can't, how do you figure out how big of a boiler you need?
Thanks,
