Total Displacement

In engine design, the total displacement is the amount of volume displaced by engine cylinders.  It is measured in cubic inches, cubic cylinders or liters.

 

Total Displacement formula
\(\large{ DISP = NOC \; \frac{\large{\pi}}{2} \; BORE^2 \; STROKE }\)
Symbol	English	Metric
\(\large{ DISP }\) = total displacement	\(\large{in}\)	\(\large{mm}\)
\(\large{ BORE }\) = cylinder bore size	\(\large{in}\)	\(\large{mm}\)
\(\large{ NOC }\) = number of cylinders	\(\large{dimensionless}\)
\(\large{ STROKE }\) = piston stroke length	\(\large{in}\)	\(\large{mm}\)
