  2. Cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder

    A cylindric section is the intersection of a cylinder's surface with a plane. They are, in general, curves and are special types of plane sections. The cylindric section by a plane that contains two elements of a cylinder is a parallelogram. [4] Such a cylindric section of a right cylinder is a rectangle. [4]

  3. Cylindrical lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylindrical_lens

    Cylindrical lenses. A cylindrical lens is a lens which focuses light into a line instead of a point as a spherical lens would. The curved face or faces of a cylindrical lens are sections of a cylinder, and focus the image passing through it into a line parallel to intersection of the surface of the lens and a plane tangent to it along the cylinder's axis.

  5. Rotogravure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotogravure

    Rotogravure (or gravure for short) is a type of intaglio printing process, which involves engraving the image onto an image carrier. In gravure printing, the image is engraved onto a cylinder because, like offset printing and flexography, it uses a rotary printing press. Once a staple of newspaper photo features, the rotogravure process is ...

  6. Four-stroke engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-stroke_engine

    The cylinder wall is a thin sleeve surrounding the piston head which creates a space for the combustion of fuel and the genesis of mechanical energy. A four-stroke (also four-cycle) engine is an internal combustion (IC) engine in which the piston completes four separate strokes while turning the crankshaft. A stroke refers to the full travel of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_parts_of...

    An illustration of several key components in a typical four-stroke engine. For a four-stroke engine, key parts of the engine include the crankshaft (purple), connecting rod (orange), one or more camshafts (red and blue), and valves. For a two-stroke engine, there may simply be an exhaust outlet and fuel inlet instead of a valve system.

  8. Piston ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_ring

    The piston ring (PR) is a split band pressed against the wall of the cylinder by springs (S) mounted in the inner "junk ring" (JR). The tongue (T) maintains the seal as the ring expands and splits apart. Piston rings are designed to seal the gap between the piston and the cylinder wall. [2] If this gap were too small, thermal expansion of the ...

  9. Cylinder (engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_(engine)

    The cylinder is the space through which the piston travels, propelled by the energy generated from the combustion of the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. [2] In an air-cooled engine, the walls of the cylinders are exposed to the airflow, to provide the primary method of cooling to the engine. Most air-cooled engines have cooling fins ...
