  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. 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 .

  4. Engine pressure ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_pressure_ratio

    The engine pressure ratio (EPR) is the total pressure ratio across a jet engine, measured as the ratio of the total pressure at the exit of the propelling nozzle divided by the total pressure at the entry to the compressor. [1] Jet engines use either EPR or compressor/fan RPM as an indicator of thrust. [2]

  5. Variable compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_compression_ratio

    Variable compression ratio (VCR) is a technology to adjust the compression ratio of an internal combustion engine while the engine is in operation. This is done to increase fuel efficiency while under varying loads. Variable compression engines allow the volume above the piston at top dead centre to be changed. Higher loads require lower ratios ...

  6. Comparison of video codecs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_video_codecs

    The quality the codec can achieve is heavily based on the compression format the codec uses. A codec is not a format, and there may be multiple codecs that implement the same compression specification – for example, MPEG-1 codecs typically do not achieve quality/size ratio comparable to codecs that implement the more modern H.264 specification.

  7. Chrysler 3.3 & 3.8 engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_3.3_&_3.8_engines

    The original 3.3 engine, as well as the larger 3.8, are pushrod engine designs. The 3.3 was introduced in 1989 with the 1990 Chrysler Imperial, New Yorker, and related K-series models, and was joined in 1991 by the 3.8. Production on the 3.3 was stopped in 2010 after a run of 5,076,603 [2] engines, while the 3.8 remained in production until May ...

  8. Talk:Compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Compression_ratio

    There are several differences, but the main one in practice is that compression ratio is applied to piston engines, pressure ratio to gas turbines. Compression ratio is the cause of the compression, pressure ratio is the result of this compression and increase in pressure. Compression ratio can be calculated easily from the engine's geometry.

  9. Hispano-Suiza 8 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispano-Suiza_8

    130 kW (180 hp), compression ratio of 5.3 :1. Wolseley W.4A Viper 150 kW (200 hp), compression ratio of 5.3 :1. Wolseley's engineers removed problems with the crankshaft and increased the compression ratio to give more power, with some early engines having a compression ratio of 5.6:1. Wolseley W.4A Viper II 160 kW (210 hp) at 2,000 rpm. [10]
