keyword=Comparison of carbon thicknesses
We did two runs with different carbon door thickness
Run Carbon thickness # of # of # of
front tracks rear tracks rear tracks
(conetest) (no conetest)
---- ---------------- ------------ ------------ ------------
1038 9+3" 8563 1268 (14.8%) 1460 (17.0%)
1039 6+3" 8558 1318 (15.4%) 1398 (16.3%)
So a drop in efficiency wtih increase in carbon thickness
when conetest is included. Even without the conetest the
increased efficiency is only 4% compared to an 33% increase
in thickness.
For 1038 a rear track was defined as thfpp_az > 5 deg
320 < zclose < 385cm and conetest passed ( Ed Brash's new conetest).
For 1039 a rear track was defined as thfpp_az > 5 deg
350 < zclose < 385cm and conetest passed ( Ed Brash's new conetest).
The ratio of front chamber tracks to VDC tracks is 89%.
Run 1039 (6+3")
