Which change would cause a freely moving piston to lower?

Increasing the pressure inside the piston cylinder would cause the piston to lower since the higher pressure pushes down on the piston.


What is piston effort?

Piston effort refers to the force exerted by a piston in an engine as it moves up and down within a cylinder. It is a measure of the resistance that the piston encounters as it compresses air or fuel mixture during the power stroke and exhaust gases during the exhaust stroke. Proper piston effort is important for achieving optimal engine performance and efficiency.


What motion does a piston have rotatory or oscillatory?

A piston typically has an oscillatory motion within a cylinder. It moves back and forth in a linear direction, driven by the combustion process in an engine.


What direction is the piston going during the compression?

Using directions like upwards in this context is meaningless because you haven't defined how the piston is oriented.During the compression stroke of a typical 4-stroke gasoline engine, the piston takes energy from the crankshaft. The reason the whole scheme still works is that you get a lot more energy back after the combustion during the power stroke. Add up the total energy moved between the piston and the crankshaft over a whole cycle (two rotations of the crankshaft), and you will find the total being positive from piston to crankshaft.


What keeps a piston from tipping in its cylinder?

The piston is prevented from tipping in the cylinder by the piston rings, which provide stability and guidance as the piston moves up and down within the cylinder. Additionally, the piston skirt design and cylinder wall clearance also help to maintain proper alignment of the piston during operation.

What is the purpose of honing a cylinder when replacing a piston?

By honing the cylinder you establish a shallow criss-cross pattern which helps with keeping the cylinder and piston lubricated as the oil film will cling better to the cylinder walls. It also remove/smoothen the groove often left where the piston change direction.

What direction of the piston faces foreward on a 4.6 liter ford?

There is a small dot about 1/8" diameter cast into the front of the piston near the wrist pin. Also a letter "R" cast into the rear of the piston.

What do piston do in a car?

A piston draws air into the cylinder through an intake port. The intake valve closes and the air/fuel mixture compresses as the piston moves back up. Once the mixture is fully compressed, it is ignited and explodes forcing the piston down (this is known as the power stroke). An exhaust valve opens and the burned gases are expelled out of the cylinder as the piston moves back up to complete its cycle. This is different from a heart valve. A heart valve would be similar to a bicycle tire pump though. As the piston draws air into the air chamber,the valve opens to allow the air to fill the chamber. the piston then, changes direction and pushes that valve closed and opens another valve to allow the air to be pushed out the air line. The difference is in the valves. a bicycle pump uses check valves. Check valves allow flow in one direction.

The upper face of a piston assembly is called?

The upper face of a piston assembly is called the crown or piston crown. It is the top surface of the piston that comes into contact with the combustion gases during the engine's operation.
