Engine Volume Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Engine Volume.
Ve = pi*r^2*L*n
- Where Ve is the Engine Volume (cm^3)
- r is the piston radius (cm)
- L is the piston length (cm)
- n is the number of pistons (cm)
To calculate the engine volume, multiply the piston radius squared by 2 times the piston length times the number of pistons.
How to Calculate Engine Volume?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Engine Volume.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the piston radius (cm).
- The piston radius (cm) is given as 2.5.
- Next, determine the piston length (cm).
- The piston length (cm) is calculated as: 4.
- Next, determine the number of pistons (cm).
- The number of pistons (cm) is found to be: 6.
- Finally, calculate the Engine Volume using the formula above:
Ve = pi*r^2*L*n
Inserting the values from above yields:
Ve = pi*2.5^2*4*6 = 471.238 (cm^3)
Example Problem #2
The variables needed for this problem are provided below:
piston radius (cm) = 3
piston length (cm) = 5
number of pistons (cm) = 4
This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer.
Ve = pi*r^2*L*n = (cm^3)
