springreturnvalves Volumetric efficiency Volumetric efficiency is a technical term used for comparing performance or some other measurable parameter per unit of physical volume. This figure of merit concept appears in several otherwise unrelated contexts, including design of internal combustion engines, hydraulic pumps, and miniaturized components used in electronic circuits. Internal combustion engines[edit] There are several ways to improve volumetric efficiency, but a system wide approach must be used to fully realize potential. Many high performance cars use carefully arranged air intakes and tuned exhaust systems that use pressure waves to push air into and out of the cylinders, making use of the resonance of the system. Volumetric efficiencies above 100% can be reached by using forced induction such as supercharging or turbocharging. Volumetric Efficiency is frequently abbreviated as "VE" when discussing engine efficiency. Hydraulic pumps[edit] Electronics[edit] See also[edit] Notes[edit] Jump up ^ SohoPros.
