Talk:Rolls-Royce Gnome

message: The article reads: "Airflow 13.8 lb/s".  This doesn't make sense - that's weight per unit time.  From what I can tell the customary unit for airflow is cubic feet per minute (volume per unit time).  Is there a source for this, and a measurement in SI units such as l/s or m3/s?

replies: text: It's certain that the author meant lb/s. This is the customary unit in the gas turbiue industry. 86.184.153.55 (talk) 20:09, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Rough calculation: 4,000 litres, or 4 cubic metres, per second. Sounds plausible. GraemeLeggett (talk) 12:09, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, looking at it again, what the author really meant was the mass flow of air. But, I don't see the line in the article anymore, and the original comment is over 4 years old, so it's a moot point. -SidewinderX (talk) 12:32, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Units 

message: It seems to me there a discrepancy between text and specification section. The text states two-stage compressor turbine, one-stage power turbine, the specs the opposite.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The Flight magazine article (1973)  used as the current ref8 incorrectly states the turbine driving the compressor is single-stage, where as it is really a two-stage turbine, and this would be very hard to alter. The General Electric T58 article confirms the turbine is two-stage.
Up to H1400, the free power turbine was single stage. The variants section of the WP article states that a couple of later higher power models had a two-stage free power turbine. This is plausible and easier to enact, but given the confusion that has gone on, we should make an effort to check.

replies: text: I have changed the source for the turbine and specification section to Jane's 1982-83 which is correct and accessible (to me at least!). Just for info the citation style should not be changed without good reason (WP:CITEVAR) though there was one template already in use and citations are placed after punctuation (WP:REFPUNCT), I placed it at the end of the sentence as the source covers both the compressor and turbine section.
