restrictor implications

we don't have the math extension yet, so this is gonna look wack until we do
general equation for ideal compressible gas flow:[citation needed]
[key for variables]
$mdot={\frac {A*p_{t}}{\sqrt {T_{t}}}}{\sqrt {\frac {\gamma }{R}}}M(1+{\frac {\gamma -1}{2}}M^{2})^{-}{\frac {\gamma +1}{2(\gamma -1}}$
when M becomes 1, the flow is considered choked. The equation becomes:
$mdot={\frac {A*p_{t}}{\sqrt {T_{t}}}}{\sqrt {\frac {\gamma }{R}}}(1+{\frac {\gamma -1}{2}})^{-}{\frac {\gamma +1}{2(\gamma -1}}$
With some basic assumed values at sea level, the maximum mass air flow through the restrictor can be found:
[put table here]
Plugging these into the equation above yields a steady state mass flow rate of 0.074 kg air per second
If we assume an AFR of 13.1 (typical lambda for high torque for NA engines[citation needed]), and a <math>Q_LHV</ math> of 46 MJ/kg [citation needed], the mass air flow yields a power limit of 265.5 kW or 356 hp total energey output. If the thermal efficiency of the engine is assumed to be a nominal 33%, the maximum available mechanical power is 88.5 kW or 118 horsepower with 100% volumetric efficiency.
