A smoothly operating engine depends high compression?

It depends on equal compression between all cylinders.


Define theoretical air and it's relationship to excess air?

Theoretical air=100% / fay where fay: equivalence ratio which equal {A/F stoichiometric }/{A/F actual } Percent of excess air=(1-fay)/fay *100 excess air+100=theoretical air


Installed new timingbelt on 87 vwcabrio timed it startednow it wont start?

Check the compression with the spark plugs out. To see if there is equal compression. also check to see if there is fuel going to the engine. If compression isn't equal then the timing belt may be out 180 degress. Hope this has been helpful!! Best of luck.


What is the total displacement in cubic inches of a v6 engine when the compression ratio is 3-3 and 1 half Does it equal 173 cubic inches?

The compression ratio doesn't deal with the displacement, the bore and stroke do. If it's a modern engine it should say the size of the engine in liters. You can use this to convert the engine size to cubic inches. A 173ci engine is a 2.8L engine when converted.


What would happen if don't fix my car from low compression?

Most engines lose compression over time, but each cylinder should have roughly equal compression. Even if compression numbers are not equal, however, it's usually not worth the expense to fix this.


Does diesel get better gas mileage than regular gasoline?

In general, yes. The diesel engine cycle utilizes much higher compression than a gas engine. And the higher the compression, the more "efficient" the engine- everything else being equal. Also, diesel has more energy (btu) per gallon that gasoline, so you win on two fronts.


Will low compression on all 4 cylinders of a 2.0 engine prevent it from starting?

The short answer is "yes". How low is low? And is compression low, and equal between adjacent cylinders? If you squeeze the radiator hose while trying to start the engine, can you feel pulsations? If the answer is yes to either question, you may have a bad head gasket.


Will increasing the amount of limiting reactant in a reaction then increase the percent yield?

No. Although increasing the amount of reagent will increase the yield but because everything is equal and constant it will not increase the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield.


How many hp equals 2500 cc?

The size of the engine, in cubic inches, cc, or liters, does not equal h.p. A 2.5 L engine may give variable ratings in h.p. Depends compression and parts used.


What of a sound wave is the distance between a compression or rarefaction and the next compression or rarefaction?

It is equal to wavelength.


In most chemical reactions the amount of product obtained is?

equal to the theoretical yield


How much horsepower does a 205 cc engine equal?

There is no direct correlation between horsepower and a 205cc engine but most produce around 5 to 6 horsepower. The actual output varies based on individual engine designs.
