Don't destroy that race-car engine. Use this software instead.

In the past, simulating race-car performance was usually the bailiwick of dedicated analysts running high-end, expensive equipment. A chart in LapSim shows the resulting airflow of the intake valves, dependent on valve lift. Airflow is calculated from input parameters such as valve angles, lengths, and diameters selected by the user. The chart on the right shows how long the cam dwells at several valve-lift heights. The graph on the left plots acceleration per degree and absolute acceleration at the rev limiter. The graph on the left shows an ignition reduction curve for full load at 5,500 rpm for a particular engine. The graph on the right shows the burn sequence. The blue line represents temperature of the unburned mixture; the yellow line is pressure in the cylinder; and the red line

Products & Services
Humidity Transmitters
Humidity transmitters provide electrical outputs that are proportional to humidity inputs. They measure variables such as relative humidity, absolute humidity, specific humidity, moisture content, dew point, temperature, and pressure.
Moisture Meters
Moisture meters are used to measure the moisture content in bulk solids, liquids and gases.
Thermocouple Wire
Thermocouple wire is used to make or extend thermocouples. The wire connects thermocouples from the sensing point to the point of cold junction compensation (CJC).
Temperature Probes
Temperature probes are devices used to sense and measure temperature. Probe technology options include thermocouple, RTD, thermistor, and solid state types.
