Stroke of Piston in Power Plant Operations Formulas

Stroke of Piston is the distance that the piston travels between its top dead center (TDC) and bottom dead center (BDC) positions during each cycle of the engine. And is denoted by L. Stroke of Piston is usually measured using the Millimeter for Length. Note that the value of Stroke of Piston is always positive.
