What is a critical compression ratio?

The lowest compression ratio of a compression-ignition engine that allows a specific fuel to be ignited by compression ignition.


What is the fuel consumption with regard to the range of engine displacement and engine compression ratio?

Greater compression = greater fuel consumption = greater power


What is the compression ratio on a 1.4 corsa petrol engine?

For the Opal Corsa generation Corsa B, 1.4 i petrol engine, the compression ratio is 9.4. It has 60 horsepower and a 46 liter fuel tank. For the 1.4 XER, the compression ratio is 10.5. For the 1.4 i 16V ECOTEC, the compression is 10.5.


Why do you need compression in an engine?

The higher compression the engine the more power it can theoretically produce. The compression ratio is mainly determined by the type of fuel being used.


What is meant by the compression ratio of a combustion engine?

The compression ratio of a combustion engine is the relationship of the largest and smallest capacities of the combustion chamber. A higher compression ratio is advantageous because the engine operates more efficiently, extracting more mechanical energy from the fuel. Most gasoline-powered engines have a compression ratio of around 10:1.


Higher compression ratio needs a better fuel?

The higher the compression ratios produce more power. The more fuel is compressed, the more likely it is to spontaneously burst into flame.


How many horsepower is 760 cubic centemeters?

Cubic centimeters is a measure of volume not horsepower.it will depend on compression ratio , type of fuel, and other factors.


What is a compression ratio?

Compression Ratio is the ratio between the original volume and the compressed volume in combustion chamber. The compression ratio is denoted as CR. It is the measure of how much air-fuel mixture is compressed during the compression stroke in the case of the gasoline engine (in the case of the diesel engine only air is compressed. Compression ratio is found by dividing the volume of stroke of the cylinder (swept volume) and clearance volume when the piston is at BDC by the volume when the piston is at TDC (ie clearance volume). Compression ratio= (Swept volume + Clearance volume) / Clearance volume. For example engine has a Swept volume of 700 cc. It has clearance volume 50 cc. Compression ratio= (700 + 80) / 80 =9.75: 1 It means Air fuel mixture is compressed to 1/9.75 of its original volume during compression stroke.


What is the spontaneous combustion of the charge commonly caused by low octane fuel or excessive compression ratio?

Autoignition


Why is dynamic compression ratio so important to engine durability?

Dynamic compression ratio is important to engine durability by ensuring its compatibility with a specific cam and octane. A higher ratio means the engine derives optimal mechanical energy from an air-fuel mixture.


What is the compression ratio to a Toyosha 142ci motor?

23:1 compression ratio


How can you convert a vehicle running on premium fuel to run on unleaded fuel?

Replace the head gasket with a thicker one, this would lower the compression ratio.
