  2. Piston motion equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_motion_equations

    From the foregoing, you can see that the time domain equations are simply scaled forms of the angle domain equations: is unscaled, ′ is scaled by ω, and ″ is scaled by ω². To convert the angle domain equations to time domain, first replace A with ωt , and then scale for angular velocity as follows: multiply x ′ {\displaystyle x'} by ...

  3. Mean piston speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_piston_speed

    The mean piston speed is the average speed of the piston in a reciprocating engine. It is a function of stroke and RPM. There is a factor of 2 in the equation to account for one stroke to occur in 1/2 of a crank revolution (or alternatively: two strokes per one crank revolution) and a '60' to convert seconds from minutes in the RPM term.

  4. Engine power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_power

    Engine power is the power that an engine can put out. It can be expressed in power units, most commonly kilowatt, pferdestärke (metric horsepower), or horsepower.In terms of internal combustion engines, the engine power usually describes the rated power, which is a power output that the engine can maintain over a long period of time according to a certain testing method, for example ISO 1585.

  5. Ignition timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_timing

    The ignition timing will need to become increasingly advanced (relative to TDC) as the engine speed increases so that the air-fuel mixture has the correct amount of time to fully burn. As the engine speed (RPM) increases, the time available to burn the mixture decreases but the burning itself proceeds at the same speed, it needs to be started ...

  6. Mean effective pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_effective_pressure

    As piston engines usually have their maximum torque at a lower rotating speed than the maximum power output, the BMEP is lower at full power (at higher rotating speed). If the same engine is rated 72 kW at 5400 min −1 = 90 s −1 , and its BMEP is 0.80 MPa, we get the following equation:

  7. Tsiolkovsky rocket equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiolkovsky_rocket_equation

    A rocket's required mass ratio as a function of effective exhaust velocity ratio. The classical rocket equation, or ideal rocket equation is a mathematical equation that describes the motion of vehicles that follow the basic principle of a rocket: a device that can apply acceleration to itself using thrust by expelling part of its mass with high velocity and can thereby move due to the ...

  8. Otto cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_cycle

    The power produced by the Otto cycle is an energy developed per unit of time. The Otto engines are called four-stroke engines. ... At an engine speed of 3000 RPM ...

  9. Specific impulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_impulse

    is the average exhaust speed along the axis of the engine (in m/s or ft/s), g 0 {\displaystyle g_{0}} is the standard gravity (in m/s 2 or ft/s 2 ). In rockets, due to atmospheric effects, the specific impulse varies with altitude, reaching a maximum in a vacuum.
