The compression ratio of an internal-combustion [[engine]] or external combustion engine is a value that represents the ratio of the volume of its combustion chamber; from its largest capacity to its smallest capacity. It is a fundamental specification for many common combustion engines. | The [[compression ratio]] of an internal-combustion [[engine]] or external combustion engine is a value that represents the ratio of the volume of its [[combustion chamber]]; from its largest capacity to its smallest capacity.
