Questions and Answers

What is the net work done by the complete cycle in a reciprocating engine?

Wpower stroke - Wcompression stroke (correct)

Wpower stroke / Wcompression stroke

Wpower stroke * Wcompression stroke

Wpower stroke + Wcompression stroke

What is the power output of a reciprocating engine directly proportional to?

Piston diameter
