What is the formula for force in an engine?

In summary, the formula for calculating force in an engine is F = P * A, where F is force in Newtons, P is pressure in Pascals, and A is the cross-sectional area of the engine's cylinders in square meters. This formula is directly related to horsepower through the equation HP = (F * V) / 746, where HP is horsepower, F is force in Newtons, and V is velocity in meters per second. Additionally, the formula can be used to determine torque by multiplying the force (F) by the distance from the center of rotation to the point of application of the force (r). Other factors that can affect the force in an engine include the type and quality of fuel, the efficiency of

hi. i want to know how much force acts on every piston in an v8 engine and how much torque acts on the crankshaft . pls also tell me how much energy is created in an engine and how much of it is lost, say in friction and other factors. pls tell the force at start of engine in car and at different values of rpm.

pls reply fast

What is the formula for calculating force in an engine?

The formula for calculating force in an engine is F = P * A, where F is force in Newtons, P is pressure in Pascals, and A is the cross-sectional area of the engine's cylinders in square meters.

How does the formula for force in an engine relate to horsepower?

The formula for calculating force in an engine is directly related to horsepower through the equation HP = (F * V) / 746, where HP is horsepower, F is force in Newtons, and V is velocity in meters per second.

Can the formula for force in an engine be used to determine torque?

Yes, the formula for force in an engine can be used to determine torque by multiplying the force (F) by the distance from the center of rotation to the point of application of the force (r). The equation for torque is T = F * r.

Are there any other factors that affect the force in an engine?

Yes, there are several other factors that can affect the force in an engine. These include the type and quality of fuel, the efficiency of the combustion process, and the design and condition of the engine's components such as the pistons and valves.

How is the formula for force in an engine used in real-world applications?

The formula for force in an engine is used in real-world applications to design and optimize engines for various purposes, such as increasing power and efficiency in vehicles, or generating electricity in power plants. It is also used in troubleshooting and diagnosing engine issues, as well as in performance tuning to achieve desired levels of force output.
