Scott,
How do you solve all of the issues you raise ???
Get a turbo-normalizer with an intercooler.
Take the nozzle air pressure from the high side of the intercooler
induction air inlet. Then WOT operations always give just about the proper pressure across
the nozzles.
For added bonus points - - it gives you HOT air across the nozzles at
the proper air pressure differential - - which makes for even better
fuel vaporization and atomization. Those are only two of the several reasons why the TN - IO - 550
Bonanzas run so magnificently well - smooth and efficient. The folks
who engineered it understood all of those somewhat subtle issues and got
it right.
The "right" way to do aircraft engines is with a turbo-supercharger and
a well designed intercooler. That combination fixes a lot of altitude
problems and it provides continuously variable compressor speeds to
properly match the mass airflow required (without choking the
compressor) - - all at absolutely minimal extraction Hp load on the
engine itself.
Regards, George PS : 17 hours of turbo-normalized operations in the last three days -
- altitudes from 3000 MSL to 18,000 and everywhere in between - - ADH
to ORL to PNE to ADH (55Kt headwind) ... headwinds on two of three legs
- - average power ? 92.5% of rated 300Hp continuous in cruise.
Average torque? ~ 102% of rated torque - - hottest CHT = ~ 378; TIT
=~ 1505 to 1525F; and normal BSFC = ~ 0.385 lbs/hp/hr.
