{{Short description|Measure of engine efficiency}} '''Volumetric efficiency''' (VE) in [[internal combustion engine]] engineering is defined as the [[ratio]] of the equivalent [[volume]] of the fresh air drawn into the cylinder during the intake stroke (if the gases were at the reference condition for density) to the volume of the cylinder itself. The term is also used in other engineering contexts, such as [[hydraulic pump]]s and electronic components.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://x-engineer.org/calculate-volumetric-efficiency/|title=Volumetric efficiency of an internal combustion engine β x-engineer.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://carbiketech.com/volumetric-efficiency-mechanical-efficiency/|title=What is Volumetric Efficiency?
