Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around understanding the pressure-volume (PV) curve for a Quasiturbine engine, which is a type of engine being explored in a physics report. Participants are attempting to clarify the characteristics of this specific engine's PV diagram.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are sharing resources and references related to the Quasiturbine engine, questioning the relevance of different types of diagrams, and considering the relationship to the Otto cycle.

Discussion Status

Some participants have provided links to articles and resources that may contain useful information. There is a mix of familiarity with the engine, and while some suggestions have been made regarding related diagrams, no consensus or definitive direction has emerged yet.

Contextual Notes

Participants are navigating the challenge of visualizing the PV curve without complete information on the Quasiturbine engine's specific characteristics. There is mention of the Otto cycle, which may influence the expected shape of the PV diagram.

Im working on a report for my physics class on engines and I wanted to do a report on the quasiturbine engine but I can't figure out what a PV curve for a Quasiturbine engine would look like?

I'm not familiar with this engine, but just a thought: sometimes it's helpful to look at the temperature/entropy diagram as well.
 
disregard my last reply. I was just reading about this engine, and you probably want the P/V diagram, check out factbug.org

It says this engine operates around an otto cycle. I'm certain you can google a graphic of an otto cycle pv diagram. Then, perhaps modify it for your purposes?
