Re: Toyota 2.4TD
You can think of is like this because the the cooling started earlier along the intake track pulling more heat. If you have 3 foot pipe and start cooling it at 1 in vs a 3 foot pipe and start cooling it at 26 inches tends to count for for the temp difference. Were also talking less than 10 degrees.
Its not the vaporazation that it instant were talking about the mixing of the mist with the air stream that mist hitting that air and surrounding metal is what is cooling. Vapor is hot (evaporated) that is in the combustion chambers.
Theme parks use mist systems to spot cool areas, it drops the temp up to 20 degrees just in that area, that how the initial burst from the system is working,
Vaporization vs atomization (the mixing with the intake air) are two different things. Vaporization will not occur to the mix hits its boiling point and it will not ignite in air until it is at its flash point.
Boiling point: 64.7 C
Flash point: 11 C
Water boiling point is around 100 C (dependent on atmospheric pressure of course) the higher the pressure the higher the boiling point, so you cant have vapor until the fluid reaches the boiling point.
I think of were we got the mix up is the word vaporization vs what we refer to as atomization the mixing of the alcohol solution with the incoming air.
