Q

1st Law of Thermodynamics

A

raise in TE= work done + heat transferred

17
Q

2nd Law of Thermodynamics

A

heat goes warm to cool the TE of the warm decreases and the TE of the cold increases

18
Q

Intake Stroke

A

intake valve opens as piston moves down drawing a gas/air mixture in

19
Q

Compress stroke

A

the intake valve closes. the piston moves up compressing the fuel-air mixture

20
Q

Power Stroke

A

the spark plug ignites the mix, mix burns, hot gas expands pushing piston down

21
Q

Exhaust Stroke

A

piston rises exhaust valve opens and hot gases are pushed out
