Any takers!
In an externally supercharged aviation(turbocharged) variable pressure piston engine (not many around now I know but it's still in the JAA ATPL's) what is the correct term for the phenomena which can occur at the inlet when the compressor output fluctuates due to temp/pressure anomolies?
I believe the phenomona is corrected by a pair of controller valves (diff pressure & density) but can't find anywhere a comprehensive explantion as to it's cause and correct name.
Anybody give me a steer on where I can find out more - preferably online?
Thanks,
