It really is not constant, but to solve problems that want you to only use Boyle's Law and not the combined gas law it is important that you assume that volume is constant. The change in volume is not really that great.

Why dual combustion cycle is called as limited pressure cycle?

In dual combustion cycle heat is added at constant volume which increases the efficiency of cycle, whereas heat addition at constant pressure limits the maximum pressure of the cycle.


Compare Brayton and Otto cycle?

The heat addition and rejection processes in otto cycle are of constant volume, whereas in brayton cycle, they are of constant pressure.


How automobile engine applied to Boyle's law?

As volume changes so does pressure. During the compression cycle of an engine, the volume is decreasing causing the pressure to increase. This happens so rapidly that I do not believe that temperature stays constant. For this to actually be following Boyle's law the temp is supposed to remain constant.


Which is constant pressure cycle?

diesel cycle is not called constant pressure cycle constant pressure cycle is Brayton cycle and there is hell of a difference with diesel cycle. you surely misunderstood the question man


Why does the heat is added at constant volume in Otto cycle and at constant pressure in Diesel cycle?

in otto cycle the burning of fuel is instantaneously therefore a very small voulme is required for burning of fule


What is the difference between otto cycle and diesel cycle?

the difference is the heat addition type In Otto Cycle the heat addition is Isochoric ((constant volume)) In Diesel Cycle the heat addition is Isobaric ((constant pressure))


What is the definition of pressure ratio?

ratio of maximum to minimum pressure only case of constant volume heat addition in engine cycle


Difference between air refregeration cycle and reversed carnot cycle?

the Carnot cycle has 2 constant specific volume processes (heat in & heat out) the air refrigeration cycle is based on a brayton cycle which has two constant pressure processes.


Dual combustion cycle?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Dual Combustion Cycle (also known as the limited pressure or mixed cycle, Seiliger cycle or Sabathe cycle) is a thermal cycle that is a combination of the Otto cycle and the Diesel cycle. Heat is added partly at constant volume and partly at constant pressure, the advantage of which is that more time is available for the fuel to completely combust. Because of lagging characteristics of fuel this cycle is invariably used for diesel and hot spot ignition engines. The dual cycle consists of following operations: # Adiabatic compression # Addition of heat at constant volume. # Addition of heat at constant pressure. # Adiabatic expansion. # Rejection of heat at constant volume.


What if a balloon is heated what happens to the volume of the air in the balloon if the pressure is constant?

For a balloon that is sealed and not full the volume of air inside the balloon will increase as it is heated. This is not however how hot air balloons work. A hot air balloon is essentially a fixed volume when it is inflated. If the air inside the balloon is heated the air inside becomes less dense so some of the air exits the balloon via the mouth of the balloon. As the air inside the balloon cools it becomes more dense so some air is ingested via the mouth of the balloon to keep it full. With each heating and cooling cycle, the pressure inside the balloon remains constant, the volume of the balloon remains constant but there is this movement of air out of and back into the balloon.

What is constant volume?

The constant Volume process, also known as Isovolumetric, is where the volume is constant and does not change. In a P, V, Diagram this should be where volume is constant where Pressure is increased. The work done (area under the curve) would be = to 0 in this case.


What is a graph illustrating the pressure and volume changes during one heartbeat called?

That graph is known as a pressure-volume loop. It is used in cardiology to assess cardiac function and to visualize the changes in pressure and volume within the heart during one cardiac cycle.
