Keep the title brief and to one line?
The second line (in smaller type style) is for the date of the presentation – depending on your presentation, you may also need to include Location and/or Presenter’s name/s and Job title if needed – as a such a second line may be used for these purposes.
Do not include unnecessary information in your presentation title – starting off with clear and simple messages will set the style and focus the audience for what is to follow.

10. Compression Ratio Stroke Length (Swept Volume) Unswept Volume
Compression Ratio
C R = Swept Vol. + Unswept Vol.
Unswept Vol.
Example:
1-1/4” plunger
134” downhole stroke length
9.5 cubic inches unswept volume
( ) / 9.5 = 18.3
Discharge Pressure =
(Intake Press) times (C R)
400 psi Intake Pressure
18.3 compression ratio, C R
400 times 18.3 = 7,320 psi
