Paul,
I've continued to tinker with this spreadsheet and make improvements.
Here is the latest version and I am satisfied with this one. This should
give good utility to anyone who is considering a turbo.
I've added a horsepower feature to the altitude section, so you can
easily see what power you want to use for various parts of the flight.
I've also renamed the altitude mass flow "Actual Mass Flow" because
that's what it is. I previously called it "Uncorrected Mass Flow," which
is true too, but not a good description.
I've also added a little note with tips on using it.
You can easily check various power settings and altitudes see where that
puts you on the various compressor maps. Then just choose the sweet
spots where you antiticpate you are going to operate most of the time.
Regards,
Gordon.
