Ok, well, if you want to sound like drmiller100, that's your prerogative.

So which is which? I'm assuming the last file is a test drive.

What signal in your log files is your water injection signal?

Seriously, you need to work on your attitude. Nobody enjoys talking to you.

Perhaps you could explain why you chose to submit two data logs, both supposedly of an engine at idle, when one file has an intake manifold temperature of 52 F, and the other has an intake manifold temperature of 89 F. Anybody who understands how engine works knows that an engine has to work harder to suck in colder air, than it does to suck in warmer air. Hm... Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the principle behind the proven warm air intake modification?

Or, perhaps you could explain what warm-up enrichment does to fuel injector pulse width, like when an engine has a coolant temperature of 68 degrees vs. when an engine has a coolant temperature of 117 degrees. Gee (Gwarm), I think that's a feature of MegaSquirt, which your engine is using.

Maybe you could explain why it is important to keep all other variables as close to identical as possible, when performing a test to determine if something causes an engine to become more efficient or not.

Then again, I don't expect anything from you, tjts1, except for more of that bad attitude you claim to not like. That is, if you decide to respond at all. My bad attitude comes from experience. What's your excuse?

You know, I was actually hoping to see a drop in fuel injector pulse width due to a rise in intake manifold pressure due to flash evaporation of misted water from the extra fuel injector. Seems I can't even see that.

I'm sorry for calling you an idiot, for you are an educated, licensed engineer who demands the full respect your continued efforts deserve.
I'm sorry you have such a poor idea of what an engineer is. I am an engineer and do not appreciate your stereotyping, your arrogance or your attitude.

If you're talking about saturated steam, then yes, it does.
It does what?
That's very vague.

Are you claiming that temperature alone is the only information needed to determine what the expansion ratio will be for saturated steam? ... that no other factors of the context will have any influence at all???

I'm not asking you to ... I think there are diminishing returns ... to increasing efforts to make the model closer and closer to reality... I'm not asking for that.

agree... there are no ideal gasses ... as such , reality will always be a bit different ... but that doesn't change the basic concepts and interconnected ratios shown in the ideal gas law.

I never claimed there would be superheated steam... there doesn't need to be ... the steam can be at the same temperature as the still liquid water in the container for the point I have been trying to making... Restricting the expansion as we have in this example will result in higher pressures.

You're trying to, by going by the 1700:1 thumbrule, which has already been shown to be incorrect.
Incorrect ... I am not adding more steam... I've already said this directly.

I have also already directly told you I am not trying to reach the 1700:1 point as a fixed point.

Your claim here is false.

Even if under a given set of conditions the unimpeded expansion were 1600:1 or 1500:1 ... the point I was trying to make doesn't change ... if the volume restricts the expansion to less than it otherwise would have gone to ... it will result in , increased pressure ... will there also be temperature effects ... of course ... the Ideal Gas Law shows that connection ... but that still doesn't change or effect the point I was making.

And you're neglecting the real-world properties of the water.
Your reply does not address the point made in what I wrote in the quote of mine you reference.

And you are also yourself neglecting some of the real-world properties of the water ... The phase change temperature will not be the 100C you claimed at these pressures.

So ... While I do not know what specific property of water you are referring to here , in regards to me ... at this time I don't see it as being any more significant than the aspects you are also neglecting yourself... and as said above ... there are diminishing returns to ever increasing complexity of a closer to real world model ... so as said above , I understand that limitation for the sake of simplicity.

But none of that changes the reality of the point I've been trying to make and you've been fighting so hard against ... is correct ... by having a restricted volume for the steam to expand into , below that which it would otherwise expand into , will result in higher pressures.

The fact that it is correct ... is in itself the point I have been trying to make ... about the limitations of the volume in this case will increase the pressure above the 14.7psi you listed.

So as much as you have been fighting against this ... thank you.

Yes ... but not temperature alone ... and the point I was making is that the pressures will be different for the same 0.96g of Liquid Water + 0.04g of steam in each of those examples... as long as the pressure is different than that is the point I was making.

In the 40cc example the increased pressure will change the phase transition point of the liquid water to higher than the 100C you listed ... this will happen before all the thermal energy from the initial gasses has been transferred to the liquid water ... as the temperature for the phase transition of the water to steam goes up ... it means that some of the heat energy transfer from the initial hot gasses must instead be spent raising the liquid water above 100C to the new higher phase transition temperature ... the higher the temperature of the liquid water the less of the temperature gap between it and the initial hot gasses ... which means less total Joules of thermal energy will transfer to the liquid water from the initial hot gasses...

etc .... etc ... as you said we can keep taking it further and further ... with diminishing returns for doing so.

So yes there will be a temperature effect ... I never said their wouldn't be ... I was claiming their would be a pressure effect due to the limited volume restriction on the expansion of the steam.

This follows the properties of saturated steam. The ideal gas law does not apply here.
Doesn't Apply?

That is a rather interesting claim ... especially sense it includes the effects of volume, pressure, and temperature... ie it allows for the temperature changes you are so fixated on.

What initial requirements of the ideal gas law do you think are not being met? ... I don't recall a specific water+steam exception ever being listed.

Again, this reflects the properties of saturated steam, not the ideal gas law.
Incorrect.
It reflects both.
The Ideal gas law requires the change in pressure to cause a change in Temperature ... remember PV=nRT ... T=Temperature.

Technically no gas 100% follows the ideal gas law ... because no gas is actually 100% ideal... but the basic principle of the relationships shown in the ideal gas law do still apply ... even to saturated steam.

And the point I was trying to make ... that you have been fighting so hard against ... is still correct ... the partial pressure of the steam will be higher than the 14.7 psi you listed ... which would be the partial pressure if there was no restriction to the volume for it to expand into... that just isn't the case in this 40cc example.

I am also getting the impression you seem to hold that the existence of steam tables somehow nullifies or contradicts the relationships shown in the Ideal Gas Law ... I disagree with this ... No gas is actually ideal ... steam tables are just the measured results of carrying out experiments under the listed conditions ... it in no way changes or nullifies the relationships shown in the Ideal Gas Law ... the most it might do is tweak the resolution of some of the results... but one must keep in mind the context of those tables, to keep their shown values properly applied.
