A 4 cylinder car has 4 Pistons
The cycle is
1-2 : Adiabatic compression of air
- then injects fuel
2-3 : Burn Fuel
3-4 : Adiabatic expansion of gas
4-1 : Exchaust / Replace with fresh air


Homework Statement



Diameter = 10 cm
Minimum depth 1 cm
Maximum depth 10 cm
Heating value of fuel is 2,100 j/g
Each cycle uses 0.005g of fuel
Temp of air = 25 degree celcius
Pressure of air = 101 325 Pa

Homework Equations


Draw P-V Diagram
Calculate P,T,V at all points (1,2,3,4)
Calculate power produced by car at 100 RPM , 500 RPM and 1000 RPM

The Attempt at a Solution

 
Physics news on Phys.org
So basically.. I have the P-V Diagram..
To my understanding you need to calculate power produced by car at 100 RPM to get P,T,V at all points..

Any help? PLEASE
 
Hint: Polytropic relationships
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
