Engine and Chassis Calculator
Quick Formulas handles several calculations used by engine and chassis builders
MPH from RPM, gear ratio and tire size Horsepower, torque and RPM
Engine displacement Compression ratio
Deck height BMEP
Piston speed and gas velocity Carb size
Primary header size
The Chassis calculator handles formulas relating to chassis set-up and vehicle dynamics:
MPH from RPM, tire size and gear ratio RPM split between gears
Cornering force as a function of time in a turn Cornering force as a function of speed
Constant acceleration by speed Constant acceleration by distance
Aerodynamic forces Aerodynamic horsepower
Roll rate - springs Roll rate - swaybar
Center of Gravity height Corner weights
Distance conversion (miles, yards, feet, Kilometers, meters)
Advantages of the Calculator
Frankly, you could do all of these computations on a calculator. The advantage of the program is that they remember all of the formulas and are quite accurate. You can even switch from Standard to metric units.
The other advantage is that the Calculator
programs keep all of these formulas handy.
The user, who may not use them every day, can call up the program and
have complete access to all of the formulas, with an explanation of the proper
units and definitions.
