Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
COTS electronic valve actuator is too slow for the engine dynamometer application (looking into different servo). (4/21)
Resonance problem is still a concern. (4/21)
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
None
Risks and Areas of Concern
RPM mount may be too thin, displacements under engine vibration loads may be excessive.
