The compression ratio compares the volume of a cylinder at BDC (bottom dead center) to the volume at TDC (top dead center). If the compression ratio is 10.2 : 1 and the volume at BDC is 124 cm3, what is the volume at TDC in cm3 rounded to 1 decimal places?

1 answer

To find the volume at TDC, we need to divide the volume at BDC by the compression ratio.

Volume at TDC = Volume at BDC / Compression ratio

Volume at TDC = 124 cm3 / 10.2 : 1

Volume at TDC ≈ 12.15686274509804 cm^3

Rounded to 1 decimal place, the volume at TDC is approximately 12.2 cm^3.
