IGNITION LAG : The period between the entry of the first droplets of fuel into the engine cylinder and the moment of ignition;
SQUARE ENGINE : An engine in which the bore and stroke dimensions are the same or nearly the same.
STROKE : Linear travel of a piston or plunger from bdc to tdc.
THERMAL EFFICIENCY : Measure of how efficiently an engine converts the potential heat energy of a fuel into usable mechanical energy; usually
NATURALLY ASPIRATED : Describes any engine in which intake air is induced into the cylinder by the lower-than atmospheric pressure created on the downstroke of the piston and receives no assist from boost devices such as turbochargers.
OTTO CYCLE : The four-stroke, spark-ignited engine cycle patented by nicolas otto in 1876.
INDIRECT INJECTION : Any of a number of methods of injecting fuel to an engine outside the cylinder. this may be to an intake tract in the intake manifold or to a cell adjacent to the cylinder, such as a precombustion chamber.
INERTIA : In physics, the tendency of a body at rest or in motion to continue in that state unless influenced by an external force.
FRICTION : The resistance that an object or fluid encounters in moving over or through another.
REJECTED HEAT : That portion of the potential heat energy of a fuel not converted into useful kinetic energy
SPARK IGNITED : Any gasoline-fueled, spark-ignited engine, usually using an otto-cycle principle.
HEAT ENERGY : An expression of the energy potential a substance possesses. it is actually the amount of kinetic energy at the molecular level in an element or compound.
MANIFOLD BOOST : Turbo-boost.
TOP DEAD CENTER : Outboard extremity of travel of a piston or plunger in a cylinder.
KINETIC ENERGY : The energy of motion
MILLER CYCLE : Variation on the otto cycle engine that uses a supercharger and holds open the intake valves for the first part of the compression stroke, providing higher efficiencies.
