During adiabatic expansion, a gas expands without gaining or losing heat to its surroundings. This causes the gas to do work on its surroundings, which in turn lowers the internal energy of the gas. Since temperature is directly related to the internal energy of a gas, the temperature of the gas decreases during adiabatic expansion, resulting in cooling.

Why SALR is less than DALR?

The SALR is always less than the DALR because the cooling caused by adiabatic expansion is partially offset by the release of latent energy during condensation.

Why compression and combustion are always adiabatic process?

Adiabatic compression occurs when a precisely controlled mixture of a flammable gas and oxygen are ignited by the heat of colliding molecules during the compression of said gas. This causes an explosion and the explosion causes an expansion of the gasses. These expanding gasses must force their way out of confinement and pushes a piston. This turns tirns a crank shaft which will mechanically open and close intake and exhaust valves through push rods.
