CHAPTER 6

Engine Air Flow Requirement Calculations

The airflow requirement of an engine is primarily determined by the cubic inch displacement and the rpm operating range of the engine.


This formula is best suited for engines that are near 100% volumetric efficiency (100% cylinder filling). Technologically advanced engines that breathe better than 100% volumetric efficiency may require additional airflow.
