Can a 3 cylinder engine run good on 2 cylinder?
Not really. If one of the three cylinders is not functioning, the engine has lost MORE than 1/3 of the power if you take into consideration that the engine is still moving the "dead" piston.
Which piston is number 1?
Cylinder #1 is always the piston closest to the front of the engine(on a transverse mounted engine the side with the belts is the front). If it is a "V" style engine then you will notice that One cylinder head sits closer to the front of the engine than the other. The front cylinder on that side will be number 1.
Why engine cease?
engines cease because, it is our misconception that the cylinder of the engine is cylindrical,in actual the cylinder walls are slightly slanting. and th diameter of the piston is a bit less than that of the cylinderwalls,which is known as clearance,,which is formulated for the smooth running of piston,,but when the temperature inside the cylinder increases above a certain level,the walls of the cylinder and the piston expands.but the expansion ratio is different for both,,as the cylinder is made of cast iron and piston with aluminium,which decreases the gap to certain level that there is no movement of piston,which is called as ceasinf of engine.
How does turbo-charging improves an engine's efficiency?
It does it by forcing more air/fuel into the cylinder than would be possible normally aspirated. This increases the cylinder pressure when it is ignited, for a longer/ stronger push on the piston increasing the engine's torque.
What is the clearance between a piston and the cylinder?
The clearance between piston and cylinder walls is much larger than you might think; perhaps .05" or even more. The reason for such a large gap is partly manufacturing tolerances, but even more because of differential expansion of piston and cylinder as the engine first starts up and heats up.Both problems are solved by making the piston undersized and machining three or more rectangular section grooves around the outer surface of the piston. A hardened steel ring fits into each groove; it is sprung such that it presses against the cylinder wall. These piston rings take up the difference in diameter between piston and cylinder, and automatically compensate for differential expansion. They also take up wear as the engine ages. Another bonus is that the piston itself does not rub against the cylinder wall. The resistance to wear which is necessary for long engine life comes from the hardened steel rings. The piston does not have to be made of hardened steel, and many are actually made from aluminium.
Why does a diesel engine produce more torque than a petrol engine?
The cylinder pressures when the fuel fires are higher, up to twice the pressure in a petrol engine, meaning the piston is pushed down with more force and turns the crank with more torque. The piston stroke of a diesel engine is longer, so there is more leverage on the crankshaft, thus it turns the crank with greater torque, but usually at lower RPM'S.
Which engine has more torque?
piston engines have more torque than jet engines..
The bore of the cylinder of a piston engine is normally ground with a slight choke?
Generally the nominal diameter of cylinder bore is kept little smaller at cylinder head than at the bottom. The engine head will be generally heat and it tends to expand for these high temperatures. To prevent the bore diameter at head to exceed diameter at bottom,piston engine bore is ground with a slight choke.
How do you remove a piston?
Easy way is to remove the cylinder head and the oil pan. Then unbolt the cap on the lower side of the connecting rod, then slide the piston out of the top of the engine where u removed the head. Its alot more work than most people think.
What is piston diameter?
A piston is a plunger, or a plug that moves inside a cube, a cylinder. The piston diameter is the diameter of this plunger/plug. It's a tiny bit smaller than the diameter of the cylinder the piston moves in.
Is the sorrento engine a noninterference engine?
An interferance engine is typically described as an engine with a valve assembly where, the lowest point of any valve's extension into the cylinder, is lower than the highest point the piston will reach. If valve timings are altered incorrectly or a valve spring breaks, the valve and piston can collide, causing massive damage to the engine.
What is the difference between a cylinder capacity and an engine capacity?
an engine may have more than one cylinder. if a 4 cylinder engine has a displacement of 2.2 L, then each cylinder is 1/4 th of that or 0.55 L per cylinder.
