Template:Infobox engine/doc

From The Democratikan Wiki

This template is used in articles about engines, including, but not limited to automobile and industrial engines.

Usage

  • See the Parameters section of this document for basic explanations of what data to enter in each parameter.
  • See WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions for detailed explanations of what data to enter in certain parameters and instructions on how to correctly format the data.
  • When entering more than one data point per parameter, use the unbulleted list template {{Ubl | fact one | fact two | et cetera }} to put each entry on a separate line. Do not use <br> to create line breaks in the infobox.
  • In the infobox templates below, conversion templates have been provided for your convenience. After copying the infobox template into the article, enter the data, replacing "NNNN" with numeric entries. When entering data into the conversion template, enter digits without thousands separators; i.e. 4287 not 4,287.

Operating principleoperating principle

The operating principle is a model that is characteristic of an engine's underlying thermodynamics; it is also known as the engine cycle. Typically, an operating principle has certain qualities that describe it, such as type of combustion (e. g. internal or external), type of ignition (e. g. compression ignition or spark ignition), and type of flame (e. g. premixed or diffusion). In internal combustion engines, common operating principles are, among others, [[Diesel engine|Diesel]], [[Otto cycle|Otto]], [[hot-bulb engine|Akroyd]], and [[Wankel engine|Wankel]].
