  2. Right circular cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_circular_cylinder

    The area of the base of a cylinder is the area of a circle (in this case we define that the circle has a radius with measure ): B = π r 2 {\displaystyle B=\pi r^{2}} . To calculate the total area of a right circular cylinder, you simply add the lateral area to the area of the two bases:

  3. Diesel fuel tanks in trucks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_fuel_tanks_in_trucks

    It offers the curved visual appeal of a cylindrical tank with significantly more fuel volume. Replacing a cylindrical fuel tank with a D-Tank can result in 46% additional fuel capacity. When calculating volume requirements, one would begin by assessing the available space. Once length, width and height restrictions have been ascertained, the ...

  4. Circular segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_segment

    The area formula can be used in calculating the volume of a partially-filled cylindrical tank lying horizontally. In the design of windows or doors with rounded tops, c and h may be the only known values and can be used to calculate R for the draftsman's compass setting.

  5. Cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder

    For a given volume, the right circular cylinder with the smallest surface area has h = 2r. Equivalently, for a given surface area, the right circular cylinder with the largest volume has h = 2r, that is, the cylinder fits snugly in a cube of side length = altitude ( = diameter of base circle). [8]

  6. Engine displacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_displacement

    Engine displacement is the measure of the cylinder volume swept by all of the pistons of a piston engine, excluding the combustion chambers. [1] It is commonly used as an expression of an engine's size, and by extension as an indicator of the power (through mean effective pressure and rotational speed ) an engine might be capable of producing ...

  7. Roundness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundness

    Roundness = ⁠ Perimeter 2 / 4 π × Area ⁠. This ratio will be 1 for a circle and greater than 1 for non-circular shapes. Another definition is the inverse of that: Roundness = ⁠ 4 π × Area / Perimeter 2 ⁠, which is 1 for a perfect circle and goes down as far as 0 for highly non-circular shapes.

  8. Surface-area-to-volume ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-area-to-volume_ratio

    The surface-area-to-volume ratio has physical dimension inverse length (L −1) and is therefore expressed in units of inverse metre (m −1) or its prefixed unit multiples and submultiples. As an example, a cube with sides of length 1 cm will have a surface area of 6 cm 2 and a volume of 1 cm 3. The surface to volume ratio for this cube is thus

  9. Cavalieri's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalieri's_principle

    1. A cone and a cylinder have radius r and height h. 2. The volume ratio is maintained when the height is scaled to h' = r √ π. 3. Decompose it into thin slices. 4. Using Cavalieri's principle, reshape each slice into a square of the same area. 5. The pyramid is replicated twice. 6. Combining them into a cube shows that the volume ratio is 1:3.
