A Thermodynamics Based Model for Predicting Piston Engine Performance for Use in Aviation Vehicle Design

Advances in piston engine technology, coupled with high costs of turbine engines have led many general aviation manufacturers to explore the use of piston engines in their smaller vehicles. However, very few engine models are available to analyze piston engine performance. Consequently, designers...
