The volume of a cylinder is the area of the cross-section multiplied by the height. D button is used to convert a value in terms of π to a decimal value. To calculate the surface area of a cylinder: ...

The total surface area of an object is the area of its base and the curved surface as well. Therefore, TSA = Area of base + Area of the curved surface The amount of space covered by an object is ...

You'd think that the pistons listed for a 10.5:1 compression ratio would actually give you 10.5:1. But it's usually not that simple. Perhaps that's why so many four-wheelers have a foggy or incomplete ...

This engine has a transparent cylinder so that combustion can be observed. Two components of cylinder volume are important: (a) The "Displacement volume" is the volume displaced by the piston as it ...

My Jan. 8 column covered refrigerant gas density coming into a compressor’s cylinder from the suction line and how it is affected by temperature. That column also covered how refrigerant density ...

Assuming a properly tuned engine, there are three factors that contribute to poor streetability: long cam duration, high compression ratios, and excessive cruise rpm. Since cam selection is largely ...

One of the big three, cylinder heads are a critical ingredient in any performance build. Working with the cam profile and intake manifold, the cylinder heads help determine not only the peak power ...
