ok landry, I'm calling you on this, adiabatic.

I had a Honda Magna vf700c and it had an adiabatic choke; what the he** is that exactly?

I was wondering also so I found this but still have no idea what it means.


Adiabatic process
A thermodynamic process in which the system undergoing the change exchanges no heat with its surroundings. An increase in entropy or degree of disorder occurs during an irreversible adiabatic process. However, reversible adiabatic processes are isentropic; that is, they take place with no change in entropy. In an adiabatic process, compression always results in warming, and expansion always results in cooling. See also Entropy; Isentropic process.

During an adiabatic process, temperature changes are due to internal system fluctuations. For example, the events inside an engine cylinder are nearly adiabatic because the wide fluctuations in temperature take place rapidly, compared to the speed with which the cylinder surfaces can conduct heat. Similarly, fluid flow through a nozzle may be so rapid that negligible exchange of heat between fluid and nozzle takes place. The compressions and rarefactions of a sound wave are rapid enough to be considered adiabatic.

You shouldn't do drugs and try to post. Either that or you need a fix so you can post.

Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are (XL).

I have no idea what an adiabatic choke would be. I was taught that adiabatic systems don't really exist, but we just use the assumption in order to smooth out the math. It's been a long time since I took thermo.
