This is from the 1952 SAE Transactions.
Development of the R3350 Turbo Compound
Engine.

The last chart illustrates yet another advantage
of turbo compounding. It improves the power
to weight ratio of an engine.

-------------------------------------------------

This power recovery heat balance chart knocked me out of my chair.
I had NO IDEA.... NONE WHAT SO EVER, prior to now, so much energy
was wasted by the exhaust valves in a piston engine turbo compounds.

Need I mention yet again THE WANKEL ROTARY HAS NO BLEEDING
EXHAUST VALVES!!!.

More evidence we will eventually get more than a 20%
efficiency improvement with a turbo compound rotary.

I am not making this stuff up folks.

Paul,
What is SENSIBLE energy and what is NON-USABLE sensible energy?
George (down under)

Sensible energy is heat or motion that can be sensed.
Non sensible energy is chemical or gas products I think.
