associated with piston rings. Pistons are usually cast or forged from aluminium alloys. For better strength and fatigue life, some racing pistons may be forged...

pistons. Regarding pistons, it was discovered that when an engine was cold during start-up, a small amount of fuel became trapped between the piston rings...

the piston crowns. In the Jumo 205 and its variants, the upper crankshaft serves the exhaust pistons, and the lower crankshaft the intake pistons. In...

reciprocating engine, also often known as a piston engine, is typically a heat engine that uses one or more reciprocating pistons to convert high temperature and...

have piston rods. Instead they use trunk pistons, where the piston and crosshead are combined and so do not need a rod between them. The term piston rod...

A crankshaft is a mechanical component used in a piston engine to convert the reciprocating motion into rotational motion. The crankshaft is a rotating...

a metal-on-metal sliding contact. Most pistons have at least two piston rings per cylinder. Automotive piston engines typically have three rings per cylinder...

method of transferring mechanical energy, or work, used when a single cylinder is used for two separately oscillating pistons. It was originally developed...

Mechanical engineering is the study of physical machines that may involve force and movement. It is an engineering branch that combines engineering physics...
