can reduced moisture in the intake air of automotive engine brings significant improvement to performance?

It helps, but air temperature and density is what makes the biggest difference. Cold, thick air makes the most power.

If you're doing this to save on fuel economy, you're kind of missing the point.  Your engine needs the same stoichiometric amount of fuel to run, no matter the dilution level.  In other words, your engine will burn the same number of gasoline molecules, whether or not there is water present.

You can increase the flow of air into the engine by changing the air cleaner.\nPut on a momo pipe, add NOS system to the car for an extra 50-100 HP at the flip of a switch.

I believe it's cooled to prevent pre-detonation of the fuel/air charge in the cylinder. So, if you send the hot gasses back into the manifold without cooling, you'll get knocking in the engine.

The entropy at the exit would be less than the entropy at the nozzle inlet. Adiabatic compression of the steam would generate more friction and overtake natural entropy of the steam. Any adiabatic force would make the entropy less at the nozzle exit.

How about a small fan with a bowl of water in front of it to increase air humidity.  It may be worth trying...;

Two part Question, TWO part Answer:\n\n1. No - viable - technology is avaible to create such an engine, but as yet it is not cost effective to build for mass market production. Will it become viable, yes.\n\n2. Reduction of internal moving parts would result in less drag, but more importantly it would nearly eliminate valve floating (a condition where the valves springs do not keep valve in contact with the camshaft). Less internal wear on moving parts would also be a benifit.

Evaporative humidifier. A fan blows air through a moistened filter or wick, increasing the humidity in the air.

AEM Cold Air Intake with bypass valve...you dont want to kill your engine.

Uh, let me see.....aerodynamics? lol.  To improve how stream-lined a product is so that the wind travels around, through, or under it in such away that it causes the least amount of friction. This helps improve speed, fuel efficiency, and reduces stress on the product.

a K&N air filter kit is supposed to give a horsepower boost by cutting down on the air resistance going through the engine.  they are also reusable so, it'll save you money.\n\ncheck http://www.knfilters.com

quickest dissipation of heat - same idea as the "fins" around the pistons on a motorcycle engine

it can affect the oil filter.it increases its work.

chip, GT40 air intake, cat-back exhaust, free-flow cats, h-pipe. The easiest thing to do is change the oil to synthetic. Less friction=more power

Mist cooling is simply introducing an atomized spray of water into an airstream to cool the air.   As the water droplets vaporize and dissolve in the air, they remove heat energy from the air, leaving the air slightly cooler.\n\nThese systems are most effective in dry heat climates, where the relative humidity is low.  The water can evaporate much more quickly, removing more heat.\n\nThe lowest temperature that can be conceivably reached (provided that the system were 100% efficient) is the dewpoint temperature, also known as the wet-bulb temperature.  If the air were cooled to this temperature, its relative humidity would be 100% and it would be at maximum moisture saturation.  So, in most cases, these coolers can only reduce temperatures to 60 or 70 degrees under normal conditions, unless you're in a desert or other arid region.\n\nMost mist coolers are smaller, portable systems that use a common fan with several nozzles in front of it that produce a very fine mist spray of water.\n\nSmaller systems are also available for cooling milling work in tooling manufacturing.  These systems typically have an additive in the water supply to reduce the oxidation effects of the water.

I'm not positive on this but I believe to what your refering to is the degree of seperation from when exhaust valve closes to when intake opens.\nBig blocks and performance cams tend to have a longer seperation to deal with higher RPM's with out valve overlap which would decrease top end.

Don't listen to the other guy because it actually lowers!\nThe faster you go the pressure builds up and that airflow pushes down on the vehicle. MIKE
