added to the pool here. The reason I posted was to caution the overextension of modeling... in the end empiricism is king. Modeling at any level is a great way to get to a good solution faster but in the end testing will tell you if your assumptions are grounded. Personally I love modeling and use it heavily but its important to not loose sight of the possibility of diverging from real conditions. From what I gather a few members here have demonstrated that increasing valve size allows for changes that net power.
Thank you for the kind words! Glad to have your experience here but lets keep technical discussion civil if we can. Everybody has something to teach and everybody has something to learn... we should be careful to look for both opportunities.
