  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. Dunkerley's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkerley's_Method

    Dunkerley's method [1] [2] is used in mechanical engineering to determine the critical speed of a shaft-rotor system. ... (RPM) equivalent as follows:

  4. Avgas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avgas

    [2] [3] Avgas has an emission coefficient (or factor) of 18.355 pounds per US gallon (2.1994 kg/L) of CO 2 [4] [5] or about 3.07 units of weight CO 2 produced per unit weight of fuel used. Avgas is less volatile, with a Reid vapor pressure range of 5.5 to 7 psi, than automotive gasoline, with a range of 8 to 14 psi.

  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. Campbell diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbell_diagram

    Analysis shows that there are well-damped critical speed at lower speed range. Another critical speed at mode 4 is observed at 7810 rpm (130 Hz) in dangerous vicinity of nominal shaft speed, but it has 30% damping - enough to safely ignore it. Analytically computed values of eigenfrequencies as a function of the shaft's rotation speed.

  7. Engine efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_efficiency

    A gasoline engine burns a mix of gasoline and air, consisting of a range of about twelve to eighteen parts (by weight) of air to one part of fuel (by weight). A mixture with a 14.7:1 air/fuel ratio is stoichiometric, that is when burned, 100% of the fuel and the oxygen are consumed.

  8. Engine pressure ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_pressure_ratio

    The integrated engine pressure ratio (IEPR) is a ratio used on some turbofans to include fan discharge total pressure and compressor inlet total pressure. If compressor inlet pressure is P0 and fan discharge total pressure is P1, then the integrated engine pressure ratio will be P1 /P0.

  9. 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).
