Answers: Engine capacity is calculated by the volume of the actual cylinders the pistons run surrounded by. So a six cylinder engine with respectively cylinder being 500cc would make available a capacity for the engine of 3Litres. If you hold an unknown engine, work it out yourself. Diameter of cyliner divided by 2 to give radius and depth of cyliner measurements. Now add for each cylinder radius squared x PI (22/7)(roughly) x by depth of cylinder. Giving total volume for cylinder - next multiply by number of cylinders. Heh presto! the answer. (If my maths is still up to date!)
It is the volume that all the pistons move through, cumulatively.
4 cylinder, 2 litre engine, respectively piston moves through 500cc.
Get the idea?
If you know the bore and stroke, and number of cylinders, you can use simple maths to work it out.
Additional:
Focus (below): WRONG! later you'd measure the volume of the combustion chamber as okay (where the BANG happens)
It is measured as if all the pistons be at the bottom.
It is the cubic capacity of the cylinder no event where the pistons are
It's the total volume of nouns that the engine moves in two complete revolutions.
1/2 bore squared X Pi (3.14159) X stroke X no. of cylinders.
the cubic dimensions is measured with adjectives the pistons at the bottom (it is the maximum swept area)
