Annular boosters on a Tunnel Ram

Looks good Mark!
I find it interesting every forum I go to, there are differing understanding of AB and how they work. Two groups arguing over the same info. Multiple experts quoted which seem to be saying the same info, but understanding it differently.
My understanding: With more air coming in the bleed, fuel is being aerated which in turn allows it to flow easier, which seems like it would come in sooner, but also the volume of fuel is less due to the aeration. Even erratic through the booster if the added air is too much. Does anyone agree with this statement?

Thanks Eric, I would tend to agree with you on all points. Now let me throw another factor in there. As i understand it, the air bleed is by design meant to be more of an activation tool that can also affect the mixture of the fuel going to the booster. The emulsion stack is where the mixture is actually created. Therefore if the emulsion is out of whack to begin with then it can throw off what the bleed is actually doing. Does that make sense? Hopefully we can get some good input to these questions without a bunch of useless fodder being thrown out with it. The whole thing is confusing enough for me without having to read between the insults.
