By having an exhaust port at the end of the stroke, piston uniflow design needs to recompress residual gas, with some reversibility losses. Furthermore, the recompression pressure makes a substantial restriction to the initial steam flow into the chamber, while the truncated stroke near BDC (bottom dead center) shorten the expansion cycle. New engine concept like the
Quasiturbine rotary design allows uniflow, without any of these concerns. Check carefully how Quasiturbine works to understand its uniflow characteristic. —Preceding

Animation speed
As someone new to this topic, trying to understand the operation, I found the animation much to fast to follow what was going on. Do others agree? Might we be able to produce a new one that runs slower, or slow this one down?
Is it "uniflow" or "unaflow"...? The attached ref spells it "uniflow". A Google search shows predominantly "uniflow", but some pages have the spelling as "unaflow" Can we get a conformation on which is correct? It's affecting other articles. Thanks - theWOLFchild22:17, 17 March 2016 (UTC)reply
Thanks... sort of. What spelling should we use? Just one? Or both? And if both, which spelling gets used where? I first became aware of this when the spelling was changed in the infobox for
USS Guadalcanal (CVE-60). Thanks again - theWOLFchild01:22, 18 March 2016 (UTC)reply
