  2. Mean piston speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_piston_speed

    The comparison of mean piston speed (black line) with real piston speed (color lines). Diagram shows one stroke from BDC to TDC. Revolution = 1.000 min-1, stroke = 88 mm. The connecting rod ratio l/r varies: 3 - red, 4 - green, 5,5 - blue. The mean piston speed is the average speed of the piston in a reciprocating engine. It is a function of ...

  3. Power band - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_band

    Specifically, power band is the range of RPM around peak power output. The power band of an internal combustion gasoline automobile engine typically starts at midrange engine speeds (around 4,000 RPM) where maximum torque is produced, and ends below the redline after reaching maximum power (typically between 6,200 RPM and 6,800 RPM). Diesel ...

  4. Horsepower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower

    Citing measurements made at the 1925 Iowa State Fair, they reported that the peak power over a few seconds has been measured to be as high as 14.88 hp (11.10 kW) [11] and also observed that for sustained activity, a work rate of about 1 hp (0.75 kW) per horse is consistent with agricultural advice from both the 19th and 20th centuries and also ...

  5. Specific speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_speed

    Specific speed N s, is used to characterize turbomachinery speed. [1] Common commercial and industrial practices use dimensioned versions which are of equal utility. Specific speed is most commonly used in pump applications to define the suction specific speed —a quasi non-dimensional number that categorizes pump impellers as to their type and proportions.

  6. Compressor map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_map

    The compressor flow and pressure range is shown with a carpet plot of engine constant rpm and constant torque lines superimposed on the map. OpenCourseWare material [ 45 ] shows a carpet plot of engine speed and load for the airflow requirements of 4-stroke truck engine.

  7. Critical speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_speed

    Many practical applications suggest as good practice that the maximum operating speed should not exceed 75% of the critical speed [citation needed]; however, some systems operate above the first critical speed, or supercritically. In such cases, it is important to accelerate the shaft through the first natural frequency quickly so that large ...

  8. Revolutions per minute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutions_per_minute

    A Flywheel energy storage system works at 60 000 rpm – 500 000 rpm (1 kHz – 8.3 kHz) range using a passively magnetic levitated flywheel in a vacuum. [8] The choice of the flywheel material is not the most dense, but the one that pulverises the most safely, at surface speeds about 7 times the speed of sound.

  9. Chevrolet 90° V6 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_90°_V6_engine

    The Chevrolet 90° V6 family of V6 engines began in 1978 with the Chevrolet 200 cu in (3.3 L) as the base engine for the all new 1978 Chevrolet Malibu.The original engine family was phased out in early 2014, with its final use as the 4.3 L (262 cu in) V6 engine used in Chevrolet and GMC trucks and vans.
