//
// Modified by Dave Luff (david.luff@nottingham.ac.uk) September 2000
//
// Altered manifold pressure range to add a minimum value at idle to simulate the throttle stop / idle bypass valve,
// and to reduce the maximum value whilst the engine is running to slightly below ambient to account for CdA losses across the throttle
//
// Altered it a bit to model an IO360 from C172 - 360 cubic inches, 180 HP max, fixed pitch prop
// Added a simple fixed pitch prop model by Nev Harbor - this is not intended as a final model but simply a hack to get it running for now
// I used Phil's ManXRPM correlation for power rather than do a new one for the C172 for now, but altered it a bit to reduce power at the low end
//
// Added EGT model based on combustion efficiency and an energy balance with the exhaust gases
//
// Added a mixture - power correlation based on a curve in the IO360 operating manual
//
// I've tried to match the prop and engine model to give roughly 600 RPM idle and 180 HP at 2700 RPM
// but it is by no means currently at a completed stage - DCL 15/9/00
//
// DCL 28/9/00 - Added estimate of engine and prop inertia and changed engine speed calculation to be calculated from Angular acceleration = Torque / Inertia.  
//               Requires a timestep to be passed to FGNewEngine::init and currently assumes this timestep does not change.
//               Could easily be altered to pass a variable timestep to FGNewEngine::update every step instead if required.
//
// DCL 27/10/00 - Added first stab at cylinder head temperature model
//                See the comment block in the code for details
//
// DCL 02/11/00 - Modified EGT code to reduce values to those more representative of a sensor downstream

// Calculate Cylinder Head Temperature

/* DCL 27/10/00

This is a somewhat rough first attempt at modelling cylinder head temperature.  The cylinder head
is assumed to be at uniform temperature.  Obviously this is incorrect, but it simplifies things a
lot, and we're just looking for the behaviour of CHT to be correct.  Energy transfer to the cylinder
head is assumed to be one third of the energy released by combustion at all conditions.  This is a
reasonable estimate, although obviously in real life it varies with different conditions and possibly
with CHT itself.  I've split energy transfer from the cylinder head into 2 terms - free convection -
ie convection to stationary air, and forced convection, ie convection into flowing air.  The basic
free convection equation is: dqdt = -hAdT   Since we don't know A and are going to set h quite arbitarily
anyway I've knocked A out and just wrapped it up in h - the only real significance is that the units
of h will be different but that dosn't really matter to us anyway.  In addition, we have the problem
that the prop model I'm currently using dosn't model the backwash from the prop which will add to the
velocity of the cooling air when the prop is turning, so I've added an extra term to try and cope
with this.

In real life, forced convection equations are genarally empirically derived, and are quite complicated
and generally contain such things as the Reynolds and Nusselt numbers to various powers.  The best
course of action would probably to find an empirical correlation from the literature for a similar
situation and try and get it to fit well.  However, for now I am using my own made up very simple
correlation for the energy transfer from the cylinder head:

dqdt = -(h1.dT) -(h2.m_dot.dT) -(h3.rpm.dT)

where dT is the temperature different between the cylinder head and the surrounding air, m_dot is the
mass flow rate of cooling air through an arbitary volume, rpm is the engine speed in rpm (this is the
backwash term), and h1, h2, h3 are co-efficients which we can play with to attempt to get the CHT
behaviour to match real life.

In order to change the values of CHT that the engine settles down at at various conditions,
have a play with h1, h2 and h3.  In order to change the rate of heating/cooling without affecting
equilibrium values alter the cylinder head mass, which is really quite arbitary.  Bear in mind that
altering h1, h2 and h3 will also alter the rate of heating or cooling as well as equilibrium values,
but altering the cylinder head mass will only alter the rate.  It would I suppose be better to read
the values from file to avoid the necessity for re-compilation every time I change them.
