Total Length of Piston Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Piston = Width of Top Land+Length of Ring Section of Piston+Length of Piston Skirt
L = h₁+h_R+l_s
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Length of Piston - (Measured in Meter) - Length of piston is the total length of a piston.
Width of Top Land - (Measured in Meter) - Width of top land is the distance from the top of the piston to the first ring groove.
Length of Ring Section of Piston - (Measured in Meter) - Length of ring section of piston is the length of the part of piston where rings are fitted, from top of first ring to the bottom of last ring.
Length of Piston Skirt - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Piston Skirt is the total length of a piston skirt used for bearing side thrust.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Width of Top Land: 30 Millimeter --> 0.03 Meter (Check conversion here)
Length of Ring Section of Piston: 44 Millimeter --> 0.044 Meter (Check conversion here)
Length of Piston Skirt: 50 Millimeter --> 0.05 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L = h₁+h_R+l_s --> 0.03+0.044+0.05

Evaluating ... ...

L = 0.124

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.124 Meter -->124 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

124 Millimeter <-- Length of Piston

Main Functions of a Piston

The main functions of the piston are as follows:
(i) It transmits the force due to gas pressure inside the cylinder to the crankshaft through the connecting rod.
(ii) It compresses the gas during the compression stroke.
(iii) It seals the inside portion of the cylinder from the crankcase by means of piston rings.
(iv) It takes the side thrust resulting from the obliquity of the connecting rod.
(v) It dissipates a large amount of heat from the combustion chamber to the cylinder wall.
