Summary
A study is made of the effect of aftercooling on the brake horsepower, the weight, and the weight-power ratio of a power plant consisting of a 2000-horsepower air-cooled engine, an intercooler, and two stages of supercharging. The study is for full-throttle operation at 30,000 feet. The dependence of brake horsepower on supercharger performance is stressed. Three cases are considered: (1) inadequate supercharging, (2) supercharging to constant manifold pressure, and (3) supercharging to detonation-limited manifold pressure.
