The piston in the cylinder acts as a pump and the answer depends on the volume of the chamber into which the substance is compressed.

How do you calculate compression ratio?

compression ratio = compressed size / uncompressed size the ratio should be between 1 and 0 (multiply with 100 to get the ratio in percent) a ratio greater than 1 means, the compressed size is actually greater than the uncompressed size a ratio just below 1 means bad compression the lower the ratio, the better the compression


What is the compression ratio for an engine if each cylinder has a maximum volume of 500 cubic centimeters and a minimum volume of 50 cubic centimeters?

Compression ratio is exclusive to each cylinder, though they will all have the same result if they are the same dimensionally ( and they always are) > Divide the total engine capacity by the number of cylinders, this gives the capacity or swept volume of each cylinder (bore * stroke) > So in a 2.0 (2000 cc) litre 4 cylinder engine, each cylinder has a 2000 / 4 = 500 cc swept volume (bore * stroke) > The combustion chamber is the volume remaining at top dead centre (TDC) > Compression ratio = volume at BDC (swept volume + volume at TDC) / volume at TDC


What ratio diameter to thickness of cylinder determines thin or thick cylinder?

If the ratio of thicness to dia of cylinder is 0.1 and less, it is thin. And if this ratio is more than 0.1 it is thick cylinder


What is the comparison of the volume of space between the piston's top surface and the top cylinder at BDC and TDC is called?

The answer is Compression Ratio. You should try reading the Study Unit it really helps!


How does compression ratio affect engine efficiency and performance?

Engine efficiency is increased though compression ratio by allowing a more thermodynamic energy to be converted into mechanical energy. Energy transfer is the key to efficiency.
