    Heat energy input from a hot source in a heat engine

    Thank you for the answer :) Yeah I thought about that, but thing is when the volume reaches zero (full contraction) the mass becomes zero apparently...

    Heat energy input from a hot source in a heat engine

    Hey! thank you for answering :) I think I know. It should be m*cp*dT, right? If so, the problem is I don't have the mass of the gas.

    Heat energy input from a hot source in a heat engine

    Greetings! I did the famous "Mass Lifter Heat Engine" experiment in which a mass is put at the top of a piston enclosed within a cylinder. The cylinder is connected to an aluminium canister of air and the air inside this canister expands and contracts the piston with thermal contact. We had 2...

    Maximum pressure for a combustion chamber

    Sure :) https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/35238/how-thick-does-steel-have-to-be-to-be-able-to-withstand-300-bar-sphere I found this quite useful, however, it relates to a sphere, not a cylinder. Also the "If you plan to use this information in any real life project, be extremely...

    Maximum pressure for a combustion chamber

    Greetings All! I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I think that since rocket fuel is considered a chemical reaction, this sections seems appropriate. Right, to the topic. Me and my team from the spaceflight society are looking forward to building a hybrid rocket fuelled...
