Mayf;
My guess is that volumetric efficiency falls off as RPM rises; the cylinders
just don't get filled with fuel/air.

Subject: [Land-speed] Enine Torque Theoretical Question...
Well, just sitting here wondering what to do with myself ... so I
thought I would see if I could arouse some moe conversation among the list..
The question of the week is: Why does the torque of an engine peak at
some rpm less that what the engine can turn? I am not a motoroligist so
I do not understand. Seems to me that if you can keep the cylinders
filled and then get the compressed air fuel mix lit at the proper time,
then torque should keep going up.
Comments?
Thoughts?
Damnations?
Blasphemy?
Theories?
Conjecture?
Oh, and the question last week regarding use of the course during a
drivers course inspection... well, see rule 1.L second paragraph. Not
allowed without permission. Under contestant conduct...
mayf, way off and far out in Pahrump
