more confusion on cessna performance chart

It is a steeped-in-tradition engineering convention used to describe something that is very, very close to the correct answer. *It derives from the very fine hair found on the lower-midsection of the adult female, of which the red has been experimentally found to be the smallest in diameter.. It took centuries of trial and measurement to prove this experiment correct {;-) Well thanks for that Jim. Downunder we have a similar but slightly less technical saying for something that is very close. It is called "within a bees dick" Terry |

Humidity feeds into "density altitude" because water vapour molecule H2O has density ~ 10 compared to Nitrogen N2 ~ 14 *at equal pressures* Not quite. The density is proportional to molecular weight, which would be in the ratio of 18 for water to 28 for nitrogen ( g /mol ) But of course we are really interested in the density ratio between water and air which would be 18 to 28.9 Ths simply comes from rearranging the Gas Equation we all learn in high school PV =nRT substiute n =m/M where m is mass and M molecular weight , you rearrange to get m/V = PM / RT m/V of course = density ( assuming ideal behaviour exists which is a pretty good assumption at the pressures and temperatures involved in flying light aircraft ). I'm guessing: but I get the impression that the onset of turbulence over wings was also dependant on temp- erature, even when the density altitude is the same. * In Quantum Theory that makes sense. To start, warm air is more chaotic than cold air at the molecular level, and the chaos *seeds* the turbulence. You know, hot fluids are less viscous than cold and so less sticky. That's likely a secondary correction. Regards Ken- Hide quoted text - So if warm air is more turbulent ( I think I can accept that ) wouldnt that mean that at higher temperatures for the same density altitude you would get less lift and require longer take off distance? As previously stated the results are the other way around. Cheers Terry |

Your sudden invocation of quantum theory doesn't make any sense to me. At no point does one need to utilize the Schrodinger, Dirac, or Klein-Gordon equations or any of their related equations in order to model or understand the onset of turbulence. |

Is the Cessna handbook online, that will save time, I'm interested. Regards Ken |

Warmer atmospheric gas has a greater photon exchange rate and that creates repulsion, that of course is why a heated closed volume increases in pressure. We may term that as "anti-viscosity", where viscosity is similiar to "stickiness". In brief, *warm things repel warm things* better than *cold things repel colds things*, all other things being equal. Regards Ken |

Hey, be quiet, I've nearly got the wife, aka "money bags" talked into taking flying lessons. Once that happens I might be able to squeak some funds for our own A/C. I needs encouragement! Ken |
