Documentation on the Toyota Corolla

[exhaust_gas]

Hi,

I am working to do some calculations on a Toyota Corolla's exhaust gas heat energy. I wanted to know where I can find detailed documentation of the car - like graphs of the exhaust flow rate and vehicle speed, or physical characteristics (like thermal conductivity) of the exhaust gas pipe. I would need these for the calculations.

Would anyone have an idea? I really am not sure where I could find these things, so I came here. Thanks

You'd more than likely have to try to get in touch with an engineer at Toyota headquarters. You'd be able to find the thermal conductivity of the exhaust pipe in a materials engineering manual if you knew the exact metal it was made of (I know it is stainless steel but not sure which type).

Thanks for your reply Donabed.

Is this forum official in any way? I was hoping to get in contact with someone who is close to Toyota in this forum.

It is not official, and I don't know of anybody on this forum that is close or works for Toyota. Sorry man.

That's okay. Thank you for your replies
