Engine displacement refers to the total volume of all the cylinders in an internal combustion engine. It is typically measured in cubic centimeters (cc) or liters (L). The displacement is a crucial factor in determining an engine's size and, to some extent, its power potential.
The displacement is calculated by multiplying the area of the engine cylinder (the cross-sectional area of the cylinder bore) by the distance the piston travels inside the cylinder (the stroke). The formula for displacement is:
Displacement=π×(2Bore)2×Stroke×Number of Cylinders
In simpler terms, it represents the total amount of air and fuel mixture an engine can draw in and combust during one complete engine cycle. Engines with larger displacements tend to produce more power, assuming other factors like efficiency, technology, and tuning remain constant. Displacement is often used as a general indicator of an engine's size and potential performance.
