AI Thread Summary
A discussion on the PV curve for a Quasiturbine engine highlights the challenge of visualizing its performance characteristics. Participants suggest exploring related resources, including articles and diagrams on Otto cycles, as a basis for understanding the Quasiturbine's PV curve. One user emphasizes the importance of considering temperature and entropy diagrams alongside the PV curve. The consensus is to adapt existing Otto cycle diagrams to better represent the Quasiturbine engine's unique features. Overall, leveraging existing resources and modifying them appears to be the recommended approach for the report.

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?
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
