The formula to calculate the Plate Cost (PC) is:
\[ PC = L \times W \times T \times CPSI \]
Where:
Let's say the length (L) is 10 inches, the width (W) is 5 inches, the thickness (T) is 0.5 inches, and the cost per cubic inch (CPSI) is $2. Using the formula:
\[ PC = 10 \times 5 \times 0.5 \times 2 = 50 \]
So, the Plate Cost (PC) is $50.
Definition: Calculates the combustion chamber volume based on head gasket specifications.
Formula: \( \text{Volume} = \frac{\pi \times \text{Bore}^2 \times \text{Thickness}}{4} \)
Example: \( \text{Volume} = \frac{\pi \times 4^2 \times 0.04}{4} \)
Definition: Determines the required thickness of a head gasket.
Formula: \( \text{Thickness} = \frac{\text{Desired Compression Ratio} \times \text{Volume}}{\text{Bore}^2} \)
Example: \( \text{Thickness} = \frac{10 \times 50}{4^2} \)
Definition: Calculates the compression ratio based on head gasket specifications.
Formula: \( \text{Compression Ratio} = \frac{\text{Volume of Cylinder} + \text{Volume of Head Gasket}}{\text{Volume of Head Gasket}} \)
Example: \( \text{Compression Ratio} = \frac{500 + 50}{50} \)
Definition: Calculates the volume of the cylinder head.
Formula: \( \text{Volume} = \frac{\pi \times \text{Bore}^2 \times \text{Stroke}}{4} \)
Example: \( \text{Volume} = \frac{\pi \times 4^2 \times 3.5}{4} \)
