Except, I do not think it would persuade anyone. People here would ask why I wasted my time and money. Everyone else would say I obviously did it wrong because those guys are obviously smarter than me. |
Some investigators do exactly that.It allows us to use mass (a constant) instead of volume (which can vary according to temp.).
Aircraft go by mass of fuel,as they can experience,say, 105 F,to -68 F within a matter of minutes after climb out.
When the Three Musketeers tested the Chrysler Airflow aerodynamic mule,they used mass,which allowed quick easier BSFC evaluations.
UC,Davis use mass during MPG testing for SAE Supermileage events.
It's good science!
