Can someone explain this? (Thermodynamics)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on understanding the processes in a steam engine diagram, specifically identifying where the isochoric process occurs. Participants note that the diagram integrates a schematic and graph, but clarity on the specific processes—isochoric, isothermal, isobaric, and adiabatic—remains unclear. The isochoric process is associated with the cylinder during compression, but further research is encouraged to grasp thermodynamics fully. Users recommend consulting physics textbooks and online resources like physicsclassroom.com or hyperphysics.com for foundational knowledge. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of self-study in understanding thermodynamic processes.

Can someone explain to me which different processes there are in this steam engine? And where they start and end? I can't find figure it out...

Is this homework? The processes are labeled on the diagram...could you be more specific about what you don't understand?
 
What a bizarrely interesting diagram. It's a schematic and a graph intergrated in one illo.
 
The problem is, I don't know where the exact process is happening, fx. I don't know where the isochore proces is on the diagram or if there is a isochore proces at all
 
There are four different processes, isocore, isoterm, isobar and a adiabatic process.

Well. . The exact process is happening in the Cylinder. If the Piston press in that's the compression comes in. and i think the process is Isochore.
 
You should not expect PF helpful staff to explain thermodynamics to you, you should
1.read a chapter on thermodynamics in a physics books
2. read the section on thermodynamics at physicsclassroom.com or hyperphysics.com , both are great sites
3. if you have any questions about thermal dynamics please ask them here after you have done some research on it.
But basically it has to do with differences in potential, Hot Air goes to wear cool air is.
