Engine Displacement Formula:
From: | To: |
Engine displacement refers to the total volume of all the cylinders in an internal combustion engine. It's typically measured in cubic centimeters (cc) or liters, and indicates the engine's size and potential power output.
The calculator uses the engine displacement formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the volume of a single cylinder (πr²h) and converts it from cubic millimeters to cubic centimeters by dividing by 1000.
Details: Engine displacement is a key factor in determining an engine's power output, fuel consumption, and overall performance characteristics. Larger displacement engines typically produce more power but may consume more fuel.
Tips: Enter the bore diameter and stroke length in millimeters. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will compute the engine displacement in cubic centimeters.
Q1: What is bore diameter?
A: Bore diameter is the diameter of the cylinder in an engine, measured in millimeters.
Q2: What is stroke length?
A: Stroke length is the distance the piston travels from top dead center to bottom dead center, measured in millimeters.
Q3: How does displacement affect engine performance?
A: Generally, larger displacement engines produce more power and torque, but may have higher fuel consumption and emissions.
Q4: Is this calculation for single-cylinder or multi-cylinder engines?
A: This calculation gives the displacement for a single cylinder. For multi-cylinder engines, multiply the result by the number of cylinders.
Q5: Why convert from mm³ to cc?
A: Engine displacement is traditionally measured in cubic centimeters (cc) or liters, so we convert from cubic millimeters for standard measurement units.
