Question: Piston Cooling and Altitude
Piston engines run cooler at lower altitudes when the air is more dense. At the standard lapse rate, the decrease in temperature at altitude does not compensate for the more pronounced effect of decrease in air density. wrote: Will a piston (non-turbo) run cooler at altitude where the outside air is cooler or lower where the air is more dense ?
