Cylinder Swept Volume (V,):
V,, = Cylinder Area x Stroke Length
y, =A xL=(Fd2)xb
where:
V= cylinder swept volume [em (cc) or L]
cylinder area [em? or em?/100]
cylinder diameter [em or em/10]
L = stroke length (the distance between the TDC and BDC) [em or em/10]
BDC = Bottom Dead Center
TDC = Top Dead Center
* Increase the diameter or the stroke length will increase the cylinder volume, the ratio between the
cylinder diameter/cylinder stroke called “bore/stroke” ratio.
-“bore/stroke” >I is called over square engine, and is used in automotive engines
-“bore/stroke” =I is called square engine
= “bore/stoke” <1 is called= under square engine, and is used in tractor engine

where:
V,.= engine swept volume [em} (cc) or L]
n= number of cylinders
V_= cylinder swept volume [cm? (cc) or L]
Ac= cylinder area [em? or em?/100]
d,— cylinder diameter [em or em/10]
* The units of cylinder swept volume is measured in (cm*, cubic centimeter (ce), or liter)
= Ve for small engines, 4 cylinder engines is (750 ce:1300 ec)
- Ve for big engine, 8 cylinder engines is (1600 cc:2500 ce)
Compression Ratio (7):

where:
r= compression ratio
V,, = cylinder swept volume (combustion chamber volume) [ce, L, or m*]
V..= cylinder volume [ec, L, or m3]
* Increase the compression ratio increase engine power
-1 (gasoline engine) = 7:12, the upper limit is engine pre ignition
-1 (diesel engine) ~ 10:18, the upper limit is the stresses on engine parts
Engine Volumetric Efficiency (y,):
Volume of air taken Into cylin.
1” = Vaximum possible volume in the cylindre
ty = Uae
vate
where:
ny = volumetric efficiency
Vip = volume of air taken into cylinder [ec, L, or m]
V,.= cylinder swept volume [cc, L, or m*]
* Increase the engine volumetric efficiency increase engine power
- Engine of normal aspiration has a volumetric efficiency of 80% to 90%
- Engine volumetric efficiency can be increased by using:
(turbo and supper charger can increase the volumetric efficiency by 50%)
