What does V-number engine mean?
1 Answers
V stands for valve, and V-number indicates the number of valves. Below is relevant information about engines: 1. Introduction: An engine is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. For example, internal combustion engines typically convert chemical energy into mechanical energy. The term engine applies both to power generation devices and to complete machines including power units (e.g., gasoline engines, aircraft engines). Engines first originated in England, so the concept of an engine also derives from English, with its original meaning referring to "mechanical devices that generate power." 2. Classification: Engines are divided into external combustion engines, internal combustion engines, gas turbines, and jet engines.
