How is cubic inch displacement detemined?

For engines, volume measured from top of cylinder to top of piston when at bottom of its stroke.


An engine that burns fuel in a chamber inside the engine is called?

It is called an Internal Combustion Engine(ICE for short) and covers a broad range of engine types not just the specified piston-cylinder engines asked about, but covers any kind of power source where fuel is burned with air(oxidised), inside a confined space and the resulting energy is used to turn a shaft through pistons and levers or turbines so that the energy can be used for a desired purposed. There are many different types of piston-cylinder engines but the most common ones in cars are four stroke petrol or diesel engines, less common are two stroke petrol and diesel engines. There are other types but of no real note to anyone except engineers and related disciplines.


What is piston stroke?

a far from my knowledge one piston stroke is the distance the piston head traveled from bottom end of cylinder to top end of the cylinder


What types of macros are available in Flowcode?

Component Macros are built in functions used to control components such as an LCD display, EEPROM, switches, serial data, etc. Macros are user created functions that help make the program more modular. As far as I can tell, there are only those 2 types.


What are the different types of steam engines?

Depends on how you want to catigorize them ... mobile or stationary piston or turbine condensing or non-condensing and weither the power comes from the steam pressure or from the vacumm you get when you condence the steam.
