SUMMARY

The discussion centers on confirming answers related to a homework question about two-stroke engines. The user believes the correct answers are options c and d, while dismissing options b and e as incorrect due to their association with the piston’s position at the top of the cylinder. The user requests a P-V diagram and an animation for better understanding, referencing a wiki article and an animation site for additional resources.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of two-stroke engine mechanics
  • Familiarity with P-V diagrams in thermodynamics
  • Basic knowledge of piston movement within an engine
  • Ability to interpret animations related to engine cycles
NEXT STEPS
  • Research P-V diagrams specific to two-stroke engines
  • Explore animations that illustrate the operation of two-stroke engines
  • Study the thermodynamic cycles involved in two-stroke engine operation
  • Review the differences between two-stroke and four-stroke engines
USEFUL FOR

Students studying mechanical engineering, automotive engineers, and anyone interested in understanding the operational principles of two-stroke engines.

The attempt at a solution
I think the answers are a. and c. It's definitely not b. or e., because those happen when the piston is near the top of the cylinder. I'm not sure about d. though. I think that also happens as the piston travels upwards.

Could someone please confirm my answers?

Can anyone please show the P-V diagram of 2-stroke Petrol engine?:confused:
 
How about an animation?

Thank you for the animation Lance...
But I want the P-V graph...
