  1. Transportation Technology Engine Terms C. Stemmler 4 Engine Terms

  2. Engine Terms • The following terms are commonly found in automotive literature, e.g., repair manuals, advertising • all of these terms relate to the internal combustion engine.

  3. Piston Cylinder Engine Terms--continued TDC • Top Dead Centre • is the farthest point of upward travel, of the piston, in the cylinder.

  4. Engine Terms--continued BDC • Bottom Dead Centre • is the lowest point of downward travel, of the piston, in the cylinder.

  5. Engine Terms--continued Bore • Inside diameter of the cylinder • measured in inches or millimetres.

  6. Engine Terms--continued Stroke • The distance traveled by the piston as it moves from TDC to BDC (or top to bottom)

  7. Engine Terms--continued Piston Displacement (PD) • The volume that the piston displaces as it travels from TDC to BDC

  8. PD Engine Terms--continued Total Displacement # of Cylinders X (times) =

  9. Engine Terms--continued Total Displacement • displacement of all the pistons added together • each cylinder will have exactly the same displacement • Units: CID or cubic inches, 351 • cc 5000cc • L 5.0 liter

  10. Engine Terms--continued Total Displacement • To calculate: • TD =(1/2 of bore2) X stroke

  11. Engine Terms--continued Torque • Turning or twisting force--imparted on the driveline by the engine.

  12. Engine Terms--continued Horsepower • GrossNo accessories (fan, alternator, etc.) connected to the engine during testing. • NetAccessories connected to the engine during testing. • Brake Actual horsepower develop by the engine when measured at the crankshaft.

  13. Engine Terms--continued Volumetric Efficiency • Ratio between the amount of fuel/air that enters the cylinder (on intake stroke) and the amount required to fill the cylinder. • Turbo-chargers, after-coolers, headers, ram-air, and super-chargers increase efficiency.
