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.

What is cylindrical capacitor?
A cylindrical capacitor is a type capacitor in which two conducting cylinders are used and the dielectric medium is placed in between them .The outer most cylinder is earthed .The capacitance of these capacitors are higher than other
Why do power plant designers try to increase the temperature of the steam fed to engines as much as possible?
The hotter the steam the higher the energy in the steam and the more energy to be transformed to mechanical motion.
Why in petrol engine spark plug is used but not in diesel engine?
Diesel engines run much higher compression than petrol engines. The higher compression makes the air in the cylinder so hot that the fuel self ignites. A petrol engine doesn't get warm enough for self ignition, so you have to add a spark from the spark plug to ignite the fuel.
How does an MPFI engine work?
Asnwer:MPFI stands for Multi Port Fuel Injection. As opposed to TBI, Throttle Body Injection. A cam and crank sensor tell the engine controller which cylinder's injector to fire and for how long. They fire with the same time as the spark plugs do. This is a more fuel efficient way to gain power. The TBI system has one or more injectors that spray fuel into the throttle body and the mixture is drawn into the engine all at once. The MPFI system has one injector per cylinder and only sprays on the compression stroke. Answer:mpfi in automobile engine is an system used in diesel engines to spray diesel at a higher speed so as to ignite the charge of air which is compressed at a higher temprature in this there are diferrent injectors on each cylinder head to give higher efficency of fuel burning this is mpfi system in automobile engines.
Is gas turbine an ic engine?
Gas turbines are a type of Internal Combustion engine, however; Assuming that you want to know the difference between a recpirocating piston engine and a gas turbine engine, the simple answer is that ICE's (Internal combustion engines) create work by moving a crank that is connected to a piston. An explosion in the piston chamber pushes a piston (or series of pistons) attached to a crankshaft, which turns the shaft. The gas turbine works by turning a shaft connected to a turbine. The turbine is powered by a compressed feul-air mixture. A stream of gas is compressed with air and forced through a chamber containing the turbine. The turbine turns the shaft as a result of complex mechanics that control the movement and flow of the compressed fuel-air mixture. The basic mechanical difference: A reciprocating piston engine uses a linear "back and forth" motion to turn a shaft, and the gas turbine engines relies on a constant circular motion to turn a shaft.
Why is the engine output of an aircraft higher than that of a vehicle regardless of the same cylinders?
because they are not the same cylinders. Same principle, different engines. they are much more meticulously manufactured.
Is a 2.7 liter engine 4 cylinders or 6?
Depends on the market. Displacement and number of cylinders don't go hand in hand - there are 15 and 16 liter diesel engines with only six cylinders, while there are also V6 engines with higher displacement than engines from other manufacturers with more cylinders. TYPICALLY, you'd be talking about a four cylinder engine, but we can't say for certain without knowing what that engine is (make/model/year).
What does cc stand for in a car?
CC stands for Centimeters Cubed it is the total volume of each engine cylinder multiplied by the total number of cylinders in the engine. As a result larger engines will have a higher CC value.
How many cylinders are in an inline engine?
Depends on the car, inline engines can range in size from 2 cylinders to 8 and higher. You will not likely find any car with an inline 8 engine though, because it is too long. The most common are the straight-four, straight-five, and straight-six.
Can you use ehtanol in internal combustion engines?
Yes. During WWII some fighter planes engines had the capability to inject small quantity of ethanol inside the cylinders to increase the octane rating of the gasoline. The higher the octane rating the better the more compression a fuel can withstand before detonating. It is a way to augment thrust in IC engines. (although to my knowledge not so widely used in present days)
How do they differ higher and lower displacement engines?
taking one cylinder , area of bore * length of stroke gives displacement (or volume) of one cylinder , then * number of cylinders = total engine displacement for rough power calculation you can research the equation PLAN/33000
The main differences between pneumatic cylinders and hydraulic cylinders is that hydraulic cylinders?
Hydraulic cylinder use a liquid medium, often some type of viscous oil, in the cylinders and can be subject to higher pressures then pneumatic cylinders which use air or some other gas and work under a lower pressure.

Results from specialty search engines and directories are higher quality content than results from ordinary search engines?
no.
What is super unleaded gasoline?
it is a type of gasoline that has a higher octane rating for higher performance engines
Which is more powerful petrol or diesel engine?
Normally Diesel engines produce more torque than gasoline engines but less horsepower. Gasoline engines rev up quicker and produce higher horsepower at higher rpms. Diesel engines develop their higher torque at lower rpms which allows a diesel to carry a heavier load.
How many cylinders does the Mitsubishi Galant come in?
The Mitsubishi Galant is only available ina four cylinder engine. There is no option to upgrade to a higher end model with six cylinders.
