Hello
all,
I
have not been on the forums for a long time, but after a preliminary search,
have not found any answers to my following question(s):
What
are my options for software that can perform a thermal cycle analysis (create a
P-V Diagram) on a two stroke diesel engine?
Specifically,
what COTS software packages are considered the "gold-standard"
(assuming money were not a factor), which are used in industry, and which (if
any) are used by universities? Ideally I
would like to find one that can take input from an optical encoder (for crank
angle; i.e. volume) and charge-coupled amplifiers (for pressure) to generate P-V
diagrams via ensemble averaging. Additionally,
what would my requirements be for data acquisition, or for that matter for signal
conditioning, systems? I hope I have given
enough information to inform a helpful response. If you would need any other piece of
information, please do not hesitate to ask!
Thank you.
Very Respectfully,
Adam

P.S.: I'm not sure if this question should be
considered "Software and Programing" or "Mechanical
Engineering" (or possibly something else; "Automotive" maybe?).
