  2. Heisler chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisler_Chart

    Heisler charts allow the evaluation of the central temperature for transient heat conduction through an infinitely long plane wall of thickness 2L, an infinitely long cylinder of radius r o, and a sphere of radius r o. Each aforementioned geometry can be analyzed by three charts which show the midplane temperature, temperature distribution, and ...

  3. Indicator diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicator_diagram

    An indicator chart records the pressure in the cylinder versus the volume swept by the piston, throughout the two or four strokes of the piston which constitute the engine, or compressor, cycle. The indicator diagram is used to calculate the work done and the power produced in an engine cylinder [2] or used in a compressor cylinder.

  4. Manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold

    Another example of a chart is the map ... A finite cylinder may be constructed as a manifold by starting with a strip [0,1] × [0,1] and gluing a pair of opposite ...

  5. Strouhal number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strouhal_number

    Strouhal number (Sr) as a function of the Reynolds number (R) for the flow past a long circular cylinder. For large Strouhal numbers (order of 1), viscosity dominates fluid flow, resulting in a collective oscillating movement of the fluid "plug".

  6. List of motorcycles by type of engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_motorcycles_by...

    List of motorcycles by type of engine is a list of motorcycles by the type of motorcycle engine used by the vehicle, such as by the number of cylinders or configuration.. A transverse engine is an engine mounted in a vehicle so that the engine's crankshaft axis is perpendicular to the direction of travel.

  7. Engine configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_configuration

    Most engines with four or less cylinders use a straight engine layout, and most engines with eight cylinders or more use a V engine layout. However, there are various exceptions to this, such as the straight-eight engines used by various luxury cars from 1919-1954, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] V4 engines used by some marine outboard motors, V-twin and ...

  8. 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.

  9. 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 ...
