  2. Compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_ratio

    For example, if the static compression ratio is 10:1, and the dynamic compression ratio is 7.5:1, a useful value for cylinder pressure would be 7.5 1.3 × atmospheric pressure, or 13.7 bar (relative to atmospheric pressure). The two corrections for dynamic compression ratio affect cylinder pressure in opposite directions, but not in equal strength.

  3. Weissman score - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weissman_score

    The Weissman score is a performance metric for lossless compression applications. It was developed by Tsachy Weissman, a professor at Stanford University, and Vinith Misra, a graduate student, at the request of producers for HBO's television series Silicon Valley, a television show about a fictional tech start-up working on a data compression algorithm.

  4. Data compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression_ratio

    Lossless compression of digitized data such as video, digitized film, and audio preserves all the information, but it does not generally achieve compression ratio much better than 2:1 because of the intrinsic entropy of the data. Compression algorithms which provide higher ratios either incur very large overheads or work only for specific data ...

  5. Engine efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_efficiency

    Most petrol (gasoline, Otto cycle) and diesel (Diesel cycle) engines have an expansion ratio equal to the compression ratio. Some engines, which use the Atkinson cycle or the Miller cycle achieve increased efficiency by having an expansion ratio larger than the compression ratio. Diesel engines have a compression/expansion ratio between 14:1 ...

  6. Compressor map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_map

    This equal-flow requirement is alongside an equal pressure-ratio requirement, between overall compression and expansion ratios, and together they position the running line for steady state operation. Single-shaft engines which drive an electric generator or helicopter rotor/aircraft propeller run with the compressor at no-load while ...

  7. Volumetric efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_efficiency

    Volumetric efficiency (VE) in internal combustion engine engineering is defined as the ratio of the equivalent volume of the fresh air drawn into the cylinder during the intake stroke (if the gases were at the reference condition for density) to the volume of the cylinder itself.

  8. Mean effective pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_effective_pressure

    The mean effective pressure (MEP) is a quantity relating to the operation of a reciprocating engine and is a measure of an engine's capacity to do work that is independent of engine displacement. [1]

  9. Overall pressure ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overall_pressure_ratio

    In aeronautical engineering, overall pressure ratio, or overall compression ratio, is the amount of times the pressure increases due to ram compression and the work done by the compressor stages. The compressor pressure ratio is the ratio of the stagnation pressures at the front and rear of the compressor of a gas turbine .
