Why do engines with less cylinders rev higher then ones with more cylidners 2 or 4 cylinders opposed to 8?

It's not the amount of cylinders. Formula 1 cars have 8 and they rev to 10,000prms. It's about a shorter stroke and less reciprocating mass. Generally, engines in cars with 4 cylinders have a displacement under 3 liters. This means smaller pistons, rods, crankshaft and/or stroke. Big American muscle has V8's with big displacement, let's say 5 liters or bigger. So they have a longer stroke, bigger pistons, bigger rods and a bigger crank. So that's basically why.


Engines that operate with rotors instead of pistons or cylinders are seldom used in modern automobiles because?

1. Problems with emissions control. Rotary engines use direct oil injection and this means oil is constantly burning with the fuel. 2. Economies of scale. Due to the complex nature of rotary engines very difficult to repair in relation to piston engines and very few people are trained to maintain and build these engines 3. Fuel consumption. Rotary engines are notoriously expensive to run on fuel. 4. Lack of low down torque/driveability. Rotary engines makes a tremendous amount of power at high RPM but insignificant torque in the lower rev ranges. 5. Ignorance. If more people disregard all of the above and eventually get to drive a rotary powered for for a while, they'd be converted. Unfortunately almost all rotary owners are petrolheads and adrenalin junkies!

How many cylinders of jet engines?

None. Jet engines don't have cylinders. While Jet engines don't have cylinders they have combustors (which can also be called combustion chambers). Due to turbulence and other problems early jet engines had multiple small combustors, most modern jet engines have only one large combustor as it is simpler to build. some jets have combustion 'cans' which are cylinders but have no moving parts within
