HI,
Arch my brain cell herts, na just kidding love this thread,
I was thinking that when you inject water post compressor, this cools the intake temp,
but does this cool it enough to reduce the volume (less heat less volume) when the injected water mass/volume is included,
if so are you not getting the same effect , ie compressor pumpping more air but is hot, then its cooled back down and dropped psi (less volume same mass+water mass) to the same mass/volume as the preturbo injection goes?. or fairly close to it, ie both will have water taking air space, and have lower temp-more air mass.
just a thought, sorry if this sounds dumb to you, but mayby has some relivance to this topic as far as how much more air will be moved with pre-compressor injection vs post compressor injection.
although preturbo would make for good mixing/evap of injected liquad.
and the lower temp in the compressor exit would make for less volume(same mass), so there would be less pressure for the compressor to fight at the same mass flow so less heating and more efficenecy , hmm O.K. I'll stop typing now.
Cheers
Ryan
