Question:
Petrol engine does the work during
Petrol engine does the work during
Updated On: Jun 7, 2024
- suction stroke
- exhaust stroke
- adiabatic expansion
- combustion
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
A petrol engine is an external combustion engine (heat engine) which turns fuel to heat a separate working fluid which then in turn performs work. Hence, petrol engine does the work during combustion.

- The initial pressure and volume of a given mass of an ideal gas $\left(with\frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}} =\gamma\right),$ taken in a cylinder fitted with a piston, are P$ _0$ and V$_0$ respectively. At this stage the gas has the same temperature as that of the surrounding medium which is T$_0$. It is adiabatically compressed to a volume equal to $\frac{v_{0}}{2}.$ Subsequently the gas is allowed to come to thermal equilibrium with the surroundings. What is the heat released to the surroundings ?

Concepts Used:
Work Done Thermodynamics
In thermodynamics, work is a way of energy transfer from a system to surroundings, under the influence of external factors such gravity, electromagnetic forces, pressure/volume etc.
Energy (ΔU) can cross the boundary of a system in two forms -> Work (W) and Heat (q). Both work and heat refer to processes by which energy is transferred to or from a substance.
ΔU=W+q
Work done by a system is defined as the quantity of energy exchanged between a system and its surroundings. It is governed by external factors such as an external force, pressure or volume or change in temperature etc.
Work (W) in mechanics is displacement (d) against a resisting force (F).
Work has units of energy (Joule, J)
