  2. Hydraulic diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_diameter

    The hydraulic diameter, D H, is a commonly used term when handling flow in non-circular tubes and channels. Using this term, one can calculate many things in the same way as for a round tube. Using this term, one can calculate many things in the same way as for a round tube.

  3. Cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder

    The height (or altitude) of a cylinder is the perpendicular distance between its bases. The cylinder obtained by rotating a line segment about a fixed line that it is parallel to is a cylinder of revolution. A cylinder of revolution is a right circular cylinder. The height of a cylinder of revolution is the length of the generating line segment.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Engine displacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_displacement

    The overall displacement for a typical reciprocating piston engine is calculated by multiplying together three values; the distance travelled by the piston (the stroke length), the circular area of the cylinder, and the number of cylinders in the whole engine. [2] The formula is:

  6. 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 ...

  7. Bore (engine) - Wikipedia

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

    In a piston engine, the bore (or cylinder bore) is the diameter of each cylinder. Engine displacement is calculated based on bore, stroke length and the number of cylinders: [ 1 ] displacement = π ( ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ × bore ) 2 × stroke × n cylinders

  8. Napkin ring problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napkin_ring_problem

    The two effects exactly cancel each other out. In the extreme case of the smallest possible sphere, the cylinder vanishes (its radius becomes zero) and the height equals the diameter of the sphere. In this case the volume of the band is the volume of the whole sphere, which matches the formula given above.

  9. The Method of Mechanical Theorems - Wikipedia

    This means that the cone and the sphere together, if all their material were moved to x = 1, would balance a cylinder of base radius 1 and length 2 on the other side. As x ranges from 0 to 2, the cylinder will have a center of gravity a distance 1 from the fulcrum, so all the weight of the cylinder can be considered to be at position 1. The ...
