Tuomas, I can say for certain that YASim does not model TIT, and I believe JSBsim doesn't either, though there seems to be a stub for TIT modeling which may be where that property comes from. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about JSBsim and TIT. A developer may have written custom code to model turbine inlet temp for a specific model, but I'm not aware of any examples. I'm currently working on a project that aims to handle multi-cylinder temperature reporting and yield results good enough to at least teach the concepts of best power/best economy and LOP operations. Unfortunately my effort doesn't yet model turbocharged engines. Since you're using the JSBsim-based Seneca II, you might want to consider working with JSBsim to add the necessary modeling for TIT, if it doesn't already exist. You might try posting on the JSBsim forum on this topic, as someone may already be developing this. -Gary aka Buckaroo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cloud Services Checklist: Pricing and Packaging Optimization This white paper is intended to serve as a reference, checklist and point of discussion for anyone considering optimizing the pricing and packaging model of a cloud services business.
