compression ratio
Volume reduction metric
Compression ratio is the ratio between the maximum and minimum volumes in an engine cylinder—how much the fuel-air mixture gets squeezed before ignition.
Higher compression ratios generally produce more power and efficiency: a 10:1 compression ratio.
In audio and video, compression ratio describes how much a file has been reduced from its original size: a 4:1 compression ratio means the file is one-quarter its original size.
