Compression ratio is actually the ratio of the volume of the cylinder at BDC divided by the volume of the cylinder at TDC. I can give you an equation for the ideal compression pressue but it will calculate to high for several reasons. The main reason is that the equation is for a constant mass in the cylinder. In reality you don't have that as the valves don't closed til part way through the compression stroke, so the mass isn't constant. There is also some leakage past the piston and then the fuel get's injected causing some evaporation and a change in the gas properties and the mass. Having said that pcomp = 14.7 x (V1/V2)^1.4 ~ psia, where V1/V2 is the compression ratio. So if the compression ratio is 16, and you're at std day conditions and your air cleaner has zero pressure loss and the fuel is stop cocked, pcomp(ideal) = 14.7 x (16)^1.4 = 14.7 X 48.5 = 712.95 psia.

Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
