Re: Holy crap people are misinformed
I'm afraid you've got the wrong person...I never said anything about a
turbocharger or supercharger in any of my postings. If you'll scroll back up to the first few responses to this message, you'll find that it was "Jim Yanik" who mentioned turbos and superchargers. Jonathan P.S. What I said is correct. For example, 1.5 Liters = 1500cc = 91.5 cubic inches. So regardless of whether you use liters, cubic centimeters, or cubic inches as your standard for measuring volume, the compression ratio for the engine is still figured the same way; not by the volume of air/fuel in the cylinder.

Re: Holy crap people are misinformed
[Addition to my last message]
Furthermore, after reading your post about how the compression ratio is determined by dividing BDC volume by TDC volume, I believe that is completely accurate.

"Effective Compression Ratio" (Usually called Dynamic Compression Ratio), refers to something else. Specifically, the intake valve does not close at bottom dead center, it closes later (typically).

Knowing the geometry of the engine and the valve timing, one can calculate the dynamic (or effective) compression ratio. Turbo boost (or throttle restriction) does not factor into the calculation of effective compression ratio. |

What you've said is incorrect: because you are invoking units in two non-consistent purposes: "Say your compression ratio is 10:1, you put ten "units" of air/fuel mixture in the cylinder. It will be compressed to 1/10 of it's original "size" (volume) upon combustion. If you put in 20 "units", it will be compressed to a 20:2 ratio, which reduces back to 10:1. 30:3 reduces to 10:1, and so forth. More "units" just causes a more powerful combustion, creating more pressure to push the piston down more forcefully." NO. Your equations only work to transpose actual units: A cylinder which measures at 10ci will measure 167cc, a combustion chamber which measures 1ci will measure 1.67cc, as the units drop out the compression ratio will remain the same "unit"-less 10/1. Your last sentence embodies the confusion: "More "units" just causes a more powerful combustion, creating more pressure to push the piston down more forcefully." NO A 167cc cylinder would _not_ create more power than an identical cylinder measured in the English system at 10ci: Cc's of air-fuel are not more energetic than ci's of air-fuel, even if "there are more of them". One cannot fill a cylinder of X units of _volume_, let us use "wits", completely for comic effect, imagine a cylinder with a swept volume of 10"wits", or 10"fckwt"... ....One cannot in any way fill a cylinder of a swept volume of 10"fckwt", with 20"fckwt" worth of volume. Hypothetically: One can fill a cylinder of a swept volume of 10"fckwt" with 10"fckwt" of a gas at a density of 100g/l, at 1atm. In the case of supercharging, one can fill that same cylinder with 10"fckwt" of the same gas at a density of 200g/l, at 2 atm pressure. "Twice" as much fuel, "twice" as much oxidant: "Twice" the energy release. (Twice the charge pressure greater combustion efficiency.) ....SAME VOLUME. If the combustion chamber is 1"fckwt" in volume the compression ratio is 10"fckwt"/1"fckwt" or 10/1, a completely "unit"-less quantity, regardless of the internal pressure of the cylinder. So, you see: "Units" of volume don't really enter into it at all. Perhaps an illustrating aside: Intake tuning can result in increased power as the pressure waves formed in the intake system are exploited to pressurize the intake charge to some appreciable level over NA. ....Still no change in "units" or volume. You will notice that the pressure of the compressed charge will increase quite dramatically as boost is increased, which is why most factory turbocharged street engines have reduced compression ratios, compared to their NA cousins. |

I know and understand that RATIO is "unit-less". What DOES have units is volume; i.e. the displacement of an engine. (1.5L, 1500cc, and 91.5ci are ALL EQUAL TO EACH OTHER, so _of course_ one isn't going to generate more power than the others) When I mentioned "units" before, I couldn't remember g/l, which, as you said, is the UNIT for density. Also, as per your info, you can increase the amount of fuel/air density, (the UNIT for that is "g/l") and the amount of pressure, (the UNIT for that is "atm") but the VOLUME (L, cc, ci) is fixed. I got that part. So my "units" on the compression ratio were the g/l : atm. So in essence, what I said is just like what you said with the 'fckwts': 20:2 & 30:3 reducing to 10:1 compression ratio; 20g/l at 2 atm & 30 g/l at 3 atm. I guess my wording was misleading. But, I do understand completely what you are saying, and it all makes perfect sense to me. So you don't need to elaborate or expand on it any further. ;-) Jonathan P.S. So do you now understand that my intention was for the "units" to be "g/l" and "atm" when I gave my examples? I just couldn't remember them. (I've been out of high school for 7 years now and I hated chemistry class) ;-) |
