Sumotoy,
My point was that when talking about air density you can't ignore dew point.
I have no desire to be a internet prof. I am not one for teaching. BTW, I was not taking people through the Ideal gas law earlier. When did mixed gases with contained vapor become an Ideal gas? Your examples and calculations are far to over simplified if someone was looking for that last 3% of engine performance due to air density.
Sumotoy "An airbox measured temp of 155 (vs 104 ambient) is 12% decrease in density or equivelent to 4000ft.
And an airbox measured temp of 176 (vs 104 ambient) is a 15% decrease in density or equvelent to 5000ft."
I asked a question, how did you take the external air box temp and relate it to the IAT then move that to air density. I don't currently agree with your interpretation of the data.
Take this off line and lets not highjack this thread with banter.
