AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the designation of 2.4-L as the maximum volume (V1) rather than the displacement volume in Example 9-60. It highlights a potential error in the example where the author incorrectly states V1 as 2.4-L, while a calculation suggests it should be 2.514-L. The distinction between maximum volume and displacement volume is clarified, with displacement volume defined as V1 minus V2. Additionally, the cutoff ratio is introduced, defined as the ratio of V3 to V2. This conversation underscores the importance of accurate definitions and calculations in diesel engine examples.

Q: Why is 2.4-L referred to as the maximum volume instead of the displacement volume in Example 9-60?
note: maximum volume = V1. displacement volume=V1-V2

What is the definition of cutoff ratio?

Post #1 has too many links to read through and it is not clear why you have included them.

However, in the model answer for Example 9.60, the author uses ##V_1= 0.0024m^3 (=2.4L)## which, as you say, is incorrect. (I get ##V_1 = 2.514L##.) Presumably that's the problem about which you are asking.

So it looks like a simple mistake by the author.

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
