If anyone else is looking for an answer to my question; the solution apparently can be found in "polytropic processes" kind regards

okay, will try. I hope it isn't too complicated. I am actually studying something completely different. Thanks for the input!

wouldn't that also happen in an ideal process?

Let me rephrase it: How can the temperature still be so high although the work has already been done ( and pressure has dropped to near atm level)? High temperature should still cause high pressure?

Thanks for your answer How can the density change if the number of particles stays the same? Friction or heat loss to surroundings would only increase the T of the surroundings though? kind regards

Hello! I have a question that has been bothering me for a while now. If we look at the expansion step of a real otto or diesel cycle we see that while the pressure drops to near surrounding levels the temperature remains relatively high ( high T of the exhaust gas). How is that possible? How...
