Question

A 4 stroke over-square single cylinder engine with an over square ratio of 1.1,the displacement volume of the engine is 245cc .The clearance volume is 27.2cc the bore of this engine is ?

Answer 1

Answer:

10.007

Explanation:

Assuming we have to find out the compression ratio of the engine

Given information

Cubic capacity of the engine, V = 245 cc

Clearance volume, V_c = 27.2 cc

over square-ratio = 1.1

thus,

D/L = 1.1

where,

D is the bore

L is the stroke

Now,

Volume of the engine V =$\frac{\pi}{4} D^2L$

plugging values we get

245 = $\frac{\pi}{4} D^3/1.1$

Solving we get D =7 cm

therefore,  L= 7/1.1 =6.36 cm

Now,

the compression ratio is given as:

r =(V+V_c)/V_c

on substituting the values, we get

r = (245+27.2)/27.2 =10.007

Hence, Compression ratio = 10.007
