What are cylinders?

Question

hello,
I like cars and i want to know about them.
What are Cylinders,Liters,Horse Power?

Please reply

Answer 1

cylinder=A cylinder in the central working part of an internal or external combustion engine, the space in which a piston travels. Multiple cylinders are commonly arranged side by side in a bank, or engine block, which is typically cast from aluminum or iron before precision features are machined into it.
Litres are most commonly used for items measured by the capacity or size of their container (such as fluids and berries), whereas cubic metres (and derived units) are most commonly used for items measured either by their dimensions or their displacements. The litre is often also used in some calculated measurements, such as density (kg/L), allowing an easy comparison with the density of water
The horsepower (hp) is the name of several non-metric units of power. In scientific discourse the term "horsepower" is rarely used due to the various definitions and the existence of an SI unit for power, the watt (W). However, the idea of horsepower persists as a legacy term in many languages, particularly in the automotive industry for listing the maximum rate of power application of internal-combustion engines.

There are two important factors to consider when evaluating a "horsepower" figure:

Various definitions for the unit itself
Various standards for measuring the value

Answer 2

As "snagelfritz" said, cylinders are where the pistons are located. The cylinders are mechanically connected to a crank shaft, which turns their up-and-down motion into circular motion, and that motion is ultimately fed to the wheels.

Liters, like cubic inches, are ways of measuring "displacement" of the engine, or how much total volume there is in all of the cylinders, for the fuel explosion to take place.

Horse power is the measure of the power that the engine generates. It was initially standardized as the amount of weight a horse could pull in a minute.

There is horse power off the engine, and there is "brake horse power", which is a lower measure, but has to do with the amount of power actually transmitted to the wheels, after the mechanical power generated by the engine loses some "oomph" along the way, through the transmission, and the universal joint, and the last connection to the wheel.

Answer 3

Cylinders are the round holes in the engine block that the pistons go up and down in to suck in air and fuel, then compress it. When the spark goes off, the mixture burns really fast and pushes the piston back down turning the crankshaft which turns the transmission and the wheels making the car go. Horsepower is how you measure how much power the engine can make. Liters are the displacement or volume that the pistons cover in their movement from top to bottom of the cylinder. Prior to the metric fad, piston/cylinder displacement was measured in cubic inches. See http://www.howstuffworks.com for more info.

Answer 4

The Cylinders is where the Pistons are located. Pistons are attached to the Crankshaft which connects to Transmission and makes the car move. The Crankshaft is Designed so each Piston is in a Different Position inside it's cylinder.

Answer 5

cylinders are inside the engine block & contain the pistons. Liters are the measurement opposed the cubic inch(old term for engine sizing). Horse power is the measurement to determine engine strength.

Answer 6

the cylinders are the tubes that the pistons go up and down in, creating compression which makes it go.. liters is the measurement of how big the engine is, horse power is how powerful
