I need to design an oil scavenging system for the output of a hydraulic system. The flow is not very much perhaps 0.1 GPM but it is hard to establish the flow rate. The source of the oil is the output of two servo hydraulic actuators, and their hydrostatic bearings. The flow of oil is not...
So I have been thinking a lot about the mathematical optimization of cylinder geometry lately.
I seems as though the intersection point of flame-front propagation and the dynamic stresses for a standard gasoline engine yield a cylinder volume of around .5 liters.
Obviously low speed engines...
