1. Noun interpretation of the number of cylinders
Number of cylinders commonly used in automobile engine has 3,4,5,6,8,10,12 cylinder. Displacement of 1 liter three-cylinder engine used, usually 1 to 2.5 l four-cylinder engine, the engine is generally about 3 liter 6 cylinder, 8-cylinder about four liters, 5.5 liters 12-cylinder engine.
Typically, the same bore, the more the number of cylinders, the greater the displacement, the higher power; in the same displacement, the more the number of cylinders, bore the smaller, the speed can be increased to obtain a larger increase power. In order to try to stagger adjacent cylinders, so that a uniform force crankshaft, each cylinder has a multi-cylinder engine for power sequence, known as the firing order of the engine. Ignition sequence depending on the structure, the crankshaft and the crankshaft design factors such as the load of the engine. For example: inline five-cylinder firing order is hijacking: 1-2-4-5-3.
