  2. Bore (engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bore_(engine)

    The bore pitch is always larger than the inside diameter of the cylinder (the bore and piston diameter) since it includes the thickness of both cylinder walls and any water passage separating them. This is one of the first dimensions required when developing a new engine, since it limits maximum cylinder size (and therefore, indirectly, maximum ...

    piston pin acceleration (upward from crank center along cylinder bore centerline) ω {\displaystyle \omega } crank angular velocity (in the same direction/sense as crank angle A {\displaystyle A} ) Angular velocity

  4. Gauge (firearms) - Wikipedia

    Therefore with a 12-gauge, it would take 12 balls of lead of the same size as the 12 gauge shotgun's inner bore diameter to weigh 1 pound (454 grams). [6] The term is related to the measurement of cannons, which were also measured by the weight of their iron round shot; an eight-pounder would fire an 8 lb (3.6 kg) ball. Therefore, a 12 gauge is ...

  5. Bore gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bore_gauge

    If you want to measure the diameter set the gauges required diameter with master. [clarify] In order to measure the diameter of the bore, place the beam at one end and slide the other end on the diameter and watch the dial indicator. The values initially increases and at one point starts decreasing; stop that point, it is called max point on ...

  6. Stroke ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroke_ratio

    An engine is described as undersquare or long-stroke if its cylinders have a smaller bore (width, diameter) than its stroke (length of piston travel) - giving a ratio value of less than 1:1. At a given engine speed, a longer stroke increases engine friction and increases stress on the crankshaft due to the higher peak piston acceleration.

  7. 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 ...

  8. Compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_ratio

    It is therefore calculated by the formula [10] = + where is the displacement volume. This is the volume inside the cylinder displaced by the piston from the beginning of the compression stroke to the end of the stroke. is the clearance volume. This is the volume of the space in the cylinder left at the end of the compression stroke.

  9. Mean piston speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_piston_speed

    The most common engine types in production are built to square, or below square. That is, a square engine has the same diameter of cylinder bore as the total length of the stroke from 0 to 180 degrees, whereas in an undersquare engine, the total length of the stroke is greater than the diameter of the bore.
