Capacitor recharge rate: Difference between revisions

From EVE University Wiki
Added an alternative approach to finding the Tau ratio, based on the equations already shown here and then comparing the result to the in-game value

What we are looking for is the Tau ratio, which is


"Cap recharge time" / Tau = ?
"Cap recharge time" / Tau = constant


where this ratio has been suggested to be 4.8 , 4.9 or 5.0
where this ratio has been suggested to be 4.8 , 4.9 or 5.0


dC/dt (peak) = Cmax/(2*Tau) = Cmax/(2*"Cap recharge time" / ?) = (?/2)*(Cmax/"Cap recharge time")
dC/dt (peak) = Cmax/(2*Tau) = Cmax/(2 * "Cap recharge time" / constant) = (constant/2)*(Cmax / "Cap recharge time")




Line 91: Line 91:
5.0    ->  dC/dt (peak) = 2.50*Cmax/"Cap recharge time" = 2.50*300/90 = 8.333
5.0    ->  dC/dt (peak) = 2.50*Cmax/"Cap recharge time" = 2.50*300/90 = 8.333


Seamus Tau ratio of 5 is the only that leads to the same peak recharge value that is seen in the game.
Seamus constant of 5 leads to the same peak recharge value that is seen in the game.
 
''edit:''
 
Kivena's orange graph above reaches a maximum value of 250%, same as 2.5. By doing what Kivena did, setting Cmax and "Cap recharge time" both to 100%, which means they cancel eachother out, the following expression is reached
 
dC/dt (peak) = constant / 2 * (Cmax / "Cap recharge time") = constant / 2
 
This can only be 2.5 if the constant = 5. So the orange graph is spot on. It's just the line fit of the blue graph that gives a lower value, perhaps something that can be traced back to a measuring error near the end points or even that the computer program used somehow failed.
