    Below is an animation of the piston motion equations with the same values of rod length and crank radius as in the graphs above. Piston motion animation with the various half strokes from the graph above (using the same color code)

  3. Mean piston speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_piston_speed

    The mean piston speed is the average speed of the piston in a reciprocating engine. It is a function of stroke and RPM. There is a factor of 2 in the equation to account for one stroke to occur in 1/2 of a crank revolution (or alternatively: two strokes per one crank revolution) and a '60' to convert seconds from minutes in the RPM term.

  4. Range (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_(aeronautics)

    Unpowered aircraft range depends on factors such as cross-country speed and environmental conditions. The range can be seen as the cross-country ground speed multiplied by the maximum time in the air. The fuel time limit for powered aircraft is fixed by the available fuel (considering reserve fuel requirements) and rate of consumption.

  5. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    At speed the locomotive will tend to surge fore-and-aft and nose, or sway, from side to side. It will also tend to pitch and rock. This article looks at these motions that originate from unbalanced inertia forces and couples in the two steam engines and their coupled wheels (some similar motions may be caused by irregularities in the track ...

  6. Horsepower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower

    Nominal horsepower = 7 × area of piston in square inches × equivalent piston speed in feet per minute/33,000. For paddle ships, the Admiralty rule was that the piston speed in feet per minute was taken as 129.7 × (stroke) 1/3.38. [28] [29] For screw steamers, the intended piston speed was used. [29]

  7. Engine configuration - Wikipedia

    1919 Napier Lion II aircraft engine with three cylinder banks. Any design of motor/engine,be it a V or a boxer can be called an "in-line" if it's mounted in-line with the frame/chassis and in-line with the direction of travel of the vehicle.When the motor/engine is across the frame/chassis this is called a TRANSVERSE motor.Cylinder arrangement is not in the description of how the motor/engine ...

  9. Free-piston engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-piston_engine

    Free-piston engine used as a gas generator to drive a turbine. A free-piston engine is a linear, 'crankless' internal combustion engine, in which the piston motion is not controlled by a crankshaft but determined by the interaction of forces from the combustion chamber gases, a rebound device (e.g., a piston in a closed cylinder) and a load device (e.g. a gas compressor or a linear alternator).
