The formula to calculate the engine volume is:
\[ Ve = \pi \times r^2 \times L \times n \]
Where:
Engine volume, also known as engine displacement, is a measure of the total volume of all the cylinders in an engine. It is calculated by multiplying the area of the piston (which is determined by the radius) by the length of the piston stroke and the number of cylinders. This value is typically expressed in cubic centimeters (cm³) and is an important factor in determining the power and efficiency of an engine.
Consider an example where:
Using the formula to calculate the Engine Volume:
\[ Ve = \pi \times 5^2 \times 10 \times 4 = 3.14159 \times 25 \times 10 \times 4 = 3141.59 \text{ cm³} \]
This means that the engine volume for this example is approximately 3141.59 cm³.
