  2. 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 ...

  3. 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]

  4. Diving cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_cylinder

    An especially common rental cylinder provided at tropical dive resorts is the "aluminium-S80" which is an aluminum cylinder design with an internal volume of 0.39 cubic feet (11.0 L) rated to hold a nominal volume of 80 cubic feet (2,300 L) of atmospheric pressure gas at its rated working pressure of 3,000 pounds per square inch (207 bar). [9]

  5. Volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume

    Because the volume occupies three dimensions, if the metre (m) is chosen as a unit of length, the corresponding unit of volume is the cubic metre (m 3). The cubic metre is also a SI derived unit. [16] Therefore, volume has a unit dimension of L 3. [17] The metric units of volume uses metric prefixes, strictly in powers of ten. When applying ...

  6. Bushel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushel

    The Winchester bushel is the volume of a cylinder 18.5 in (470 mm) in diameter and 8 in (200 mm) high, which gives an irrational number, of approximately 2150.4202 cubic inches. [4] The modern American or US bushel is rounded to exactly 2150.42 cubic inches, a difference of less than one part per ten million. [5]

  7. Right circular cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_circular_cylinder

    The equilateral cylinder is characterized by being a right circular cylinder in which the diameter of the base is equal to the value of the height (geratrix). [ 4 ] Then, assuming that the radius of the base of an equilateral cylinder is r {\displaystyle r\,} then the diameter of the base of this cylinder is 2 r {\displaystyle 2r\,} and its ...

  8. Compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_ratio

    In piston engines, static compression ratio is determined using the cylinder volume when the piston is at the top and bottom of its travel. The compression ratio is the ratio between the maximum and minimum volume during the compression stage of the power cycle in a piston or Wankel engine.

    The generation of a bicylinder Calculating the volume of a bicylinder. A bicylinder generated by two cylinders with radius r has the volume =, and the surface area [1] [6] =.. The upper half of a bicylinder is the square case of a domical vault, a dome-shaped solid based on any convex polygon whose cross-sections are similar copies of the polygon, and analogous formulas calculating the volume ...
