with all this talk of EPA and clean diesel, I was wondering if thier was a way to calculate the amount of air that it takes to to burn "x" amount of fuel.
I am really in the dark on this. I know that the flow rate of a turbo is measuered on cubic feet per minute (CFM) and I am not sure how the flow of the injectors is measured. So if you have a turbo that flows 320 CFM how much fuel could you effiently burn? or if you had a set of injectors that flowed "x"amount how much air would you need to effectively atommize the fuel?
I figure someone on here will know what i am talking about. I think what iam asking is clear but if not I will try to explain it better. any insight to this would be great, because I think it would help people make good decisions on building a DD that is efficeint. I know it amy sound good in thoery but is it really going to work if it is put in to action?
