  2. Four-stroke engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-stroke_engine

    A four-stroke (also four-cycle) engine is an internal combustion (IC) engine in which the piston completes four separate strokes while turning the crankshaft. A stroke refers to the full travel of the piston along the cylinder, in either direction. The four separate strokes are termed:

  3. Leak-down tester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak-down_tester

    In the United States, FAA specifications [1] state that engines up to 1,000 cu in (16 L) engine displacement require an 0.040 in (1.0 mm) orifice diameter, 0.250 in (6.4 mm) long, 60-degree approach angle. The input pressure is set for 80 psi (550 kPa), and 60 psi (410 kPa) minimum cylinder pressure is the accepted standard.

  4. Internal combustion engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine

    Internal combustion engines such as reciprocating internal combustion engines produce air pollution emissions, due to incomplete combustion of carbonaceous fuel. The main derivatives of the process are carbon dioxide CO 2, water and some soot—also called particulate matter (PM). [55]

  5. Staged combustion cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staged_combustion_cycle

    Potential disadvantages of the full-flow staged combustion cycle include more stringent materials requirements, and the increased engineering complexity and parts count of the two preburners, relative to a single-shaft staged combustion cycle. As of 2024, four full-flow staged combustion rocket engines have been tested on test stands; the ...

  6. ISO 8178 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8178

    ISO 8178 is a collection of steady state test cycles used for defining emission standards for non-road engines in the European Union, United States, Japan and other countries. Test cycle ISO 8178 C1 is also referred to as "Non-Road Steady Cycle" and used extensively. The Non-road Transient Cycle is supplementing it in some modern emission ...

  7. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    Engine balance refers to how the inertial forces produced by moving parts in an internal combustion engine or steam engine are neutralised with counterweights and balance shafts, to prevent unpleasant and potentially damaging vibration. The strongest inertial forces occur at crankshaft speed (first-order forces) and balance is mandatory, while ...

  8. Engine test stand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_test_stand

    An engine test stand is a facility used to develop, characterize and test engines. The facility, often offered as a product to automotive OEMs , allows engine operation in different operating regimes and offers measurement of several physical variables associated with the engine operation.

  9. Air flow bench - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_flow_bench

    An air flow bench is a device used for testing the internal aerodynamic qualities of an engine component and is related to the more familiar wind tunnel. It is used primarily for testing the intake and exhaust ports of cylinder heads of internal combustion engines .
