volumetric efficiency equations

[Jim Zurlo]

As mentioned by the guy from Ford, if you really want to accurately calculate
volumetric efficiency then you must use a sophisticated program such as Ford's
MANDY (can you send me a copy of that? :-)).  However the book by Taylor &
Taylor from MIT Press does have some equations that indicate how various
changes effect volumetric efficiency.  An example is the equation that shows
how volumetric efficiency is affected by the ratio of Intake to Exhaust
manifold pressure.  For some applications that level of sophistication is 
sufficient.
