- Each of these is called a stroke. The term is also used to mean the length of the stroke. In a steam locomotive, or in a steam, Otto, Diesel or piston engine, a stroke is the action of a piston travelling the full length of its locomotive cylinder or engine cylinder in one direction. The stroke length is determined by the cranks on the crankshaft. Stroke can also refer to the distance the piston travels.

What Is a Stroke? A stroke is an episode of decreased blood flow to the tissues of the brain. This decreased blood flow can be caused by a blockage in a blood vessel (an ischemic stroke) or from damage to a blood vessel that causes bleeding from the blood vessel and prevents the area supplied by that vessel from receiving adequate blood flow (a hemorrhagic stroke).

Engine Fundamentals Abstract: Reciprocating internal combustion engines—a subclass of heat engines—can be operated in the four-and two-stroke cycles. In each case, the engine may be equipped with either a spark-ignited (SI) or a compression-ignited (CI) combustion system.

Ford Power Stroke engine The 6.0L Power Stroke was used in Ford Super Duty trucks until the 2007 model year but lasted until 2009 in the Ford Econoline vans (Model year 2010). The engine has a 3.74 in (95 mm) bore and 4.13 in (105 mm) stroke creating a displacement of 365 cu in (6.0 L) or 5954 cc.

Engine strokes definition A more compact design in comparison with 4 stroke engine is possible because the intake and exhaust valves can be replaced by ports (holes) in the cylinder liner, the opening and closing of which can be directly controlled by the piston motion. The two strokes are the following: Compression stroke: after closing the inlet and exhaust ports, the piston compresses the cylinder charge (in the meantime, the volume in the crankcase increases, drawing fresh charge into the crankcase by depression).

Auto Ch. 12 (59 terms) A valve arrangement in the cylinder head where the valves are at an angle to the cylinder bore. Canting the valves can make for a straighter path for air to flow into and out of the intake and exhaust ports. The area of an engine in which the air/fuel mixture is burnt.

Definition of Engine displacement The result is given in cubic inches. Engine displacement is the volume swept by all the pistons inside the cylinders of a reciprocating engine in a single movement from top dead centre (TDC) to bottom dead centre (BDC).

What is the difference between a 2 stroke and a 4 stroke engine? The piston is what is what is pushed down to create power to the engine . the fuel comes in thru the fuel injectors or carburretor, then is pulled into the combustion chamber,… the spark plug ignites the fuel/air mixture causing an explosion inside the cylinder, pushing the piston down making power.

The Heart as a Pump Stroke volume is a measure of the blood volume pumped out of the left ventricle in one heartbeat. It is calculated by subtracting end systolic volume (ESV; the amount of blood remaining just after ventricular contraction) from end diastolic volume (EDV; the amount of blood in the ventricles just before contraction).

Carburetor The throttle (green) is a valve that swivels to open or close the pipe. When the throttle is open, more air and fuel flows to the cylinders so the engine produces more power and the car goes faster. The mixture of air and fuel flows down into the cylinders.

STROKE • STROKE (noun) The noun STROKE has 10 senses: 1. (sports) the act of swinging or striking at a ball with a club or racket or bat or cue or hand. 2. the maximum movement available to a pivoted or reciprocating piece by a cam.

Internal combustion engine The six-stroke engine was invented in 1883. Four kinds of six-stroke use a regular piston in a regular cylinder (Griffin six-stroke, Bajulaz six-stroke, Velozeta six-stroke and Crower six-stroke), firing every three crankshaft revolutions.

- How does a four-stroke engine make power? Watch this animation and you'll see that a car engine makes its power by endlessly repeating a series of four steps (called strokes): Intake: The piston (green) is pulled down inside the cylinder (gray) by the momentum of the crankshaft (grey wheel at the bottom).

What Makes a Car Move? When gasoline is injected into the cylinder and mixed with air and ignited, it produces an explosion that rapidly expands the gases in the confined cylinder. Thus the four-stroke process is compression, ignition, power, exhaust.

Stroke Stroke is when poor blood flow to the brain results in cell death. There are two main types of stroke: ischemic, due to lack of blood flow, and hemorrhagic, due to bleeding. They result in part of the brain not functioning properly.

What Is Stroke? Stroke is a sudden impairment in brain function. One may suffer an inability to speak or speak clearly, walk, or move a limb because blood has stopped flowing to an area of the brain. Usually, this is caused by the blockage, or the rupture, of a blood vessel.

- On the next up stroke, the EXHAUST stroke, the spent mixture is forced out of the cylinder making way for fresh air/fuel mixture on the following INTAKE stroke. I should note that the above description is a simplified view of engine operation.

4-Stroke Internal Combustion Engine The engine cycle begins with the intake stroke as the piston is pulled towards the crankshaft (to the left in the figure). The intake valve is open, and fuel and air are drawn past the valve and into the combustion chamber and cylinder from the intake manifold located on top of the combustion chamber. The exhaust valve is closed and the electrical contact switch is open.

Piston A piston is a component of reciprocating engines, reciprocating pumps, gas compressors and pneumatic cylinders, among other similar mechanisms. It is the moving component that is contained by a cylinder and is made gas-tight by piston rings. In an engine, its purpose is to transfer force from expanding gas in the cylinder to the crankshaft via a piston rod and/or connecting rod. In a pump, the function is reversed and force is transferred from the crankshaft to the piston for the purpose of compressing or ejecting the fluid in the cylinder.

Medical Definition of Stroke Definition of Stroke. Stroke: The sudden death of brain cells due to lack of oxygen, caused by blockage of blood flow or rupture of an artery to the brain. Sudden loss of speech, weakness, or paralysis of one side of the body can be symptoms. A suspected stroke can be confirmed by scanning the brain with special X-ray tests, such as CAT scans.

How a 4-Cycle Engine Works Step 2: Compression Stroke. Just after the piston moves to the bottom of its travel (bottom dead center), the cylinder bore contains the maximum air-fuel mixture possible. The intake valve closes and the piston returns back up the cylinder bore. This is called the compression stroke of the 4-cycle engine process.

backstroke Switch to new thesaurus. swimming stroke - a method of moving the arms and legs to push against the water and propel the swimmer forward. flutter kick - a swimming kick; the legs are moved rapidly up and down without bending the knees. aquatics, water sport - sports that involve bodies of water.

Four-stroke engine Four-stroke engine. A four-stroke (also four-cycle) engine is an internal combustion (IC) engine in which the piston completes four separate strokes while turning a crankshaft. A stroke refers to the full travel of the piston along the cylinder, in either direction. The four separate strokes are termed:

Bore (engine) Bore (engine) The Bore or cylinder bore is a part of a piston engine. The bore also represents the size, in terms of diameter, of the cylinder in which a piston travels. The value of a cylinders bore, and stroke, is used to establish the displacement of an engine. The term bore can also be applied to the bore of a locomotive cylinder or steam engine pistons.
