CUBIC CAPACITY / DISPLACEMENT :
It is a volume generated by piston when it travels from TDC to BDC. It is measured as Cubic Centimeter
(CC). It can be mathematically arrived at with the radious of the piston and the stroke of the engine.
(πr²× l, when ‘r’ is the radius of the piston and ‘l’ is the length of the stroke). It is also known as Swept
Volume or Displacement volume.
CLEARANCE VOLUME :
It is the nominal volume of the space above the
piston in the combustion chamber when piston
is at the topmost position (TDC).
ENGINE :
The Engine helps to convert Chemical energy
availbale in petrol into heat energy then to
mechanical energy for motion. It is the heart of
the vehicle in which power is generated for
moving the vehicle.
BORE :
Bore is the inside diameter of the cyclinder block
in which Piston moves up and down.
TDC :
TDC stands for Top Dead Center. It is the top
most position to which the piston can travel in
the cylinder barrel.
BDC :
BDC stands for Bottom Dead Center. It is the
bottom most position to which the piston can
travel in the cylinder barrel.
STROKE :
It is a distance travelled by piston from TDC to
BDC or Vice Versa.
