Thermodynamics - Finding volume and clearance

AI Thread Summary
To find Volume 1, Volume 2, and clearance in an ideal Otto cycle engine, the density of air at the given temperature and pressure can be used for calculations. The displacement volume of 1925 cm3 indicates the change in volume during the engine cycle. The bore diameter of 10 cm and stroke of 24.5 cm provide additional parameters for determining cylinder volumes. Formulas related to cylinder volume and clearance can be applied once the density of air is known. Understanding these concepts is essential for solving the problem effectively.

an automobile engine operates an ideal otto cycle. Bore diameter of 10 cm and displacement volume of 1925 cm3 and stroke of 24.5 cm

mass of air per cylinder is 0.0026 kg with a temperature and pressure of intake air of 25 degrees celsius and 101 kPa.

Is this enough to find Volume 1, volume 2 , and or clearance?

if so how?

Im not asking for a solution , maybe just formulas or steps on solving it.

Welcome to Physics Forums.

If you look up the density of air at the stated temperature and pressure, you should be able to calculate the volume.

The 1925 cm3 refers to the change in volume during the cycle.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
