What are the causes of reduced volumetric efficiency?

Reduction in power density. Power density is the power produced by the engine per volume unit. Reduced volumetric efficiency means that less air/fuel will be delivered to the engine for a specific engine volume.


What is the volumetric efficiency mechanical?

What is the compression psi of a compression ratio of 16.2?

There is no direct connection between compression ratio and pressure. Ratio is a mathematical calculation of the cylinder volume from bottom center to top center. Actual cylinder pressure will depend on the volumetric efficiency of the engine. Factors the affect volumetric efficiency include rpm, intake design, throttle plate size, amount of restriction in the exhaust, size of the valves, shape of piston and combustion chamber.
