The Intake Length Calculator helps determine the optimal intake length for an engine based on various parameters such as the speed of sound, engine RPM, and harmonic order.
The tool offer two calculation modes: a Basic Calculator for simpler calculations and an Advanced Calculator for more detailed calculations considering harmonic order. This tool is particularly useful for automotive performance enthusiasts and engineers tuning engine performance.
To use the Basic Calculator:
- Enter any two of the following: Speed of Sound (m/s), Engine RPM, or Intake Length (meters).
- The calculator will compute the missing value based on the inputs provided.
- Press Calculate to get the result or use the Reset button to clear the fields.
For more detailed calculations, the Advanced Calculator allows you to calculate the optimal intake length by considering the harmonic order:
- Enter the Speed of Sound (m/s), Engine RPM, and Harmonic Order (n).
- Press Calculate to determine the Optimal Intake Length.
How To Calculate
Example 1: Basic Calculator
Step | Calculation |
---|---|
Speed of Sound (m/s) | 343 m/s |
Engine RPM | 3000 RPM |
Intake Length (m) | (to be calculated) |
Calculation | (343 / (2 × 3000 / 60)) / 4 = 0.43 m |
In this example, with a speed of sound of 343 m/s and an engine RPM of 3000, the calculator determines the optimal intake length as 0.43 meters.
Example 2: Advanced Calculator
Step | Calculation |
---|---|
Speed of Sound (m/s) | 343 m/s |
Engine RPM | 3500 RPM |
Harmonic Order (n) | 1 |
Optimal Intake Length (m) | (343 / (2 × 3500 / 60)) / 1 = 0.49 m |
In the advanced example, with a speed of sound of 343 m/s
