i am 99% sure it makes a small explosion big enough to push the piston up again and more gas gets in the spot and it does this again and again that's how a engine works.

A piston in an engine compresses the gas into a small volume What is the pressure?

The pressure is higher than it was at first. A measurement cannot be given from these details.


During the stage of internal combustion engine operation in which the piston rises and compresses the fuel in the combustion chamber?

This is called the compression stage. During the four stroke sycle (Otto cycle) the four stokes are induction, compression, power and exhaust. Each piston does this in a set order to even out the stresses caused, and thereby smooth the output. For example the firing order (i.e. power stroke) on a four cylinder engine could be 1,3,4 and 2 or 1,2,4 and 3.


What is most likely to occur if piston ring gap is too smallon a motor?

If the piston ring gap is too small, it can lead to increased pressure buildup in the combustion chamber, causing the rings to bind or become damaged. This excessive pressure may result in poor sealing, leading to blow-by, oil consumption, and reduced engine performance. Additionally, it can cause overheating and premature wear of the piston rings and cylinder walls. Overall, a too-small piston ring gap can significantly compromise engine efficiency and longevity.


What type of accumulator discharges at a constant pressure?

A piston-type accumulator discharges at a constant pressure as it has a piston that separates the gas and fluid sections, allowing for a consistent pressure output as the fluid is discharged.


What for piston projection is provided?

Piston projection refers to the distance that a piston extends upward from the top of the cylinder when the engine is at top dead center. This measurement is important for ensuring proper engine performance and clearance between components.

What is the purpose of a piston?

It compresses the air in a engine or compressor.

What does the internal combustion engine work?

rising piston compresses air/fuel mixture , then ignited at top, heat raises pressure, pressure on piston crown creates force, force over stroke = work


How is a diesel engine different from other internal combustion engines?

Its a compression engine, as opposed to a spark driven combustion. No spark plugs! To start the engine, the piston is forced up (by a starter), it compresses the (heated) fuel in the piston which then ignites (under pressure) forcing the piston back down and initiating the engine to turn over.


What does a piston do in a combustion engine?

A piston is attached to a piston rod in a combustion engine. It compresses the air in the cylinder block and that air ignites when fuel is injected into the block, giving the car power.


What exerted pressure on the piston in newcomen's steam engine cause it to move?

Steam pressure pushes the piston up. Atmospheric Pressure pushes the piston down.


Main difference between a steam engine and an internal combustion engine?

It's complicated but I'll summarize. An internal combustion engine sucks in air and fuel when the piston goes down, compresses it on the upstroke and spark plug ignites the fuel/air mix causing the fuel to expand pushing the piston back down creating the force. A steam engine uses pistons and valves as well but the pressure comes from an external boiler and the steam pressure piped into the cylinder pushes the piston up and down.


What does an air compressor do and how does it work?

An air compressor is a machine that compresses air to increase its pressure. It works by drawing in air and then using a piston or other mechanism to compress it into a smaller volume, which increases its pressure. This pressurized air can then be used for various purposes, such as powering tools or inflating tires.


What causes ignition to occur in a diesel engine?

When the piston compresses the fuel-air mixture, the spark ignites it, causing combustion


Describe the energy transformation as the engines piston goes up and down?

As the engine's piston moves up, it compresses the fuel-air mixture, converting mechanical energy into potential energy in the form of increased pressure. When the piston moves down, the compressed mixture is ignited, releasing chemical energy and converting it back into mechanical energy to drive the piston.


Do diesels have vacuum?

Yes, any piston engine draws air in when the piston move downward on the intake stroke, and as a result does create a lower pressure with respect to the atmospheric pressure around the engine.
