Conclusions and Recommendations
All R2 were above .95 with most being above .99
The best overall efficiency was approximately
70% for an RPM of 1530
The use of pressure gauges and dynamometer
that are less affected by vibration would improve
results
A more accurate method of recording voltage
and current would also improve the results
