In a typical pressure-volume diagram for a diesel engine, we begin at atmospheric pressure (a) and begin compression of the inlet air to point (b). Here, based on injected fuel control, Rudolph Diesel ...

In the case of the internal-combustion engine, where virtually every separate portion of explosive mixture behaves differently, the usual thermodynamic interpretations of the pressure-volume indicator ...

A.Here's a pressure-volume diagram for a combustion engine. Although rough, it is an approximation of the so-called air-standard cycle. '' Point (a) is at atmospheric pressure, after which the air is ...
