Well after a couple hours of coding, I believe I have worked out all the bugs.

Basically, it's a program used to calculate compressor map points, CFM, etc.

Here's a pic of what it looks like:

If you want it, it's up for download HERE (http://members.rogers.com/tainted-crimson/TurboCalc.exe)

Enjoy.

EDIT: Oh yeah, if you have any ideas on how I can improve it, give me a shout.

Looks like you used VB.

My only suggestion is to make the program window more smaller and compact. It takes up too much space.

I can't get the calculator to scroll down to the estimated horsepower and the other one. I get to calculate fuel needed, and that's about it.

I agree masta and Jeff, the window needs to be smaller, maybe 300-500 pixels tall. Other then that it's pretty cool, thanks. The HP numbers I got were kinda low, so I'm not sure if I was using an incorrect setting for one of the Eff. or not. I was up to 85% VE and that seems a little high. Also, I noticed that when the inlet temp was raised, power went up, any good reasons for this?

great program, but just like Jeff, i can't get past the fuel part because the program is too big for my screen

Thanks guys. I'll make a refined version when I get some free time again.

240racer, thanks for pointing that out. I'll take a look at my density calculations.
