What are the advantages of multiple cylinder engine over single cylinder engine?

multiple cylinders create better torque, efficiency, and are better balanced. In addition, the same identical size engines would have large differences in piston size/weight, rod size/weight, bearing stress, etc.

Can you replace a twin cylinder lawn mower engine with a single cylinder?
There should not be any problem as long as the single cylinder engine has the same horsepower for handling the load, and the mounting bolt holes match up.

What is the difference between a single-acting and an opposed piston engine is?
Single-acting? You mean like a single cylinder engine, like in my lawn mower? The biggest difference (besides the obvious "an opposed engine has more cylinders" is that an opposed engine has more torque. On a single-cylinder four-stroke, you've got the cylinder moving under input energy--the burning gasoline--for one stroke, and under stored energy from the flywheel for three strokes. If you have a two-cylinder engine, you have two strokes where the engine is moving under input energy--each cylinder has one--and two strokes using stored energy. If you have a four-cylinder engine, each stroke is moving under input energy.
What are the advantages of multiple inheritance over single inheritance?
The advantages of multiple inheritance over single inheritance include being a realistic software model. It is useful in breaking down complicated behavior into sets of characteristics that does not interfere with one another.
What the piston in engine moves down due to combustion but how does it move up?
In the case of a single cylinder engine it would require a LARGE flywheel, so that rotary momentum is maintained. In the case of a multi-cylinder engine there are multiple firings of individual cylinders in 360 degrees of crankshaft rotation. Each cylinder as it fires helps the crankshaft maintain rotary momentum, thus a lighter flywheel is required.
How much horsepower does a single cylinder Rotex engine have?
Sorry- no one engine, no one horsepower, no one answer.
Why are multi cylinder engines preferred to single cylinder engines?
this is rhetorical when you think about it. when you have more cylinders, you have more power, but less fuel efficiency, and vice versa. In this answer its not all completely correct in some cases a multi-cylinder engine can have a better fuel economy compared to a single cylinder engine, it depends on the capacity of the of the cylinder, the size of the valves and how much they allow the fuel and air mixture (in S.I engines A.K.A petrol engines) or air for diesel engines. One reason that i know of for a multi-cylinder engine to be preferred to a single cylinder engine is because it gives less stress to the engine when running it also causes the engine to be more stable. In addition a multi-cylinder engine has less time between power strokes so the engine is more efficient.
What is a one-lunger?
A one lunger is a single cylinder internal combustion engine.
What is a single cylinder engine?
An engine works by placing fuel in a cylinder and igniting it to create movement on the push or downward movement. A single cylinder uses only one cylinder to burn fuel. It is more efficient to use 2 or more to create movement on the up AND downward stroke of a fuel burn. Hope this helps.
How do you calculate the volume of an engine?
Calculate the volume of a single cylinder and multiply it by the number of cylinders.
