Major Math Error Found!!!!
I was computing to 1000 degrees CENTIGRADE not FAHRENHEIT of output steam. Our 1000-1100 degree EGT goal is F. So, I need to adjust the total amount of cooling down by about 450 degrees of steam heat per cc of injected water. So minus 1400j heat energy absorbed per cc injected. or roughly 35%.
This should make the nozzle almost perfect...
It doesn't matter in actuality. That just means we aren't over-watering as much as I had suspected. So, it's actually good news. I'll post any other notes here as I review this and double check for errors.
Correct the scale of compensation to be from +100hp to +175hp equivalent of fuel burned.
