1. What is Cylinder Cubic Capacity?

Cylinder Cubic Capacity (CC) refers to the volume displaced by the piston in a single stroke. It's a key measurement in engine specifications that indicates the engine size and power potential.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the cylinder volume formula:

Where:

• \( Bore \) — Cylinder diameter in millimeters
• \( Stroke \) — Piston travel distance in millimeters
• \( \pi \) — Mathematical constant (approximately 3.1416)

Explanation: The formula calculates the volume of a cylinder using the bore as diameter and stroke as height, then converts from cubic millimeters to liters.

3. Importance of CC Calculation

Details: Engine displacement is a critical factor in determining engine power, fuel efficiency, and emissions. Larger displacement typically means more power but also higher fuel consumption.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter bore and stroke measurements in millimeters. Both values must be positive numbers. The result will be displayed in liters (L).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is engine displacement measured in liters?
A: Liters provide a standardized unit that's easy to understand and compare across different engine types and manufacturers.

Q2: How does CC relate to engine power?
A: Generally, larger displacement engines can produce more power, but actual power output also depends on factors like engine design, compression ratio, and forced induction.

Q3: What's the difference between bore and stroke?
A: Bore is the diameter of the cylinder, while stroke is the distance the piston travels from top to bottom dead center.

Q4: Are there limitations to this calculation?
A: This formula calculates theoretical displacement. Actual engine displacement may vary slightly due to manufacturing tolerances and combustion chamber design.

Q5: How do I calculate total engine displacement?
A: Multiply the single cylinder displacement by the number of cylinders in the engine.
