Q

What’s boyles law

A

Boyle’s Law states that the product of the pressure and volume of any given mass of gas is constant providing that the temperature of the gas remains unchanged

T = constant
P × V = constant
If P increases V decreases
If P decreases V increases

Q

What’s Charles law

A

Charles’ Law states that, providing that the pressure of the gas remains unchanged, the volume of any given mass of gas is proportional to the temperature

P = constant
V / T = constant
If T increases V increases
If T decreases V decreases

Q

What’s guy lussacs law (the pressure law)

A

Gay-Lussac’s law states that, providing that the volume of the gas remains unchanged, the pressure of any given mass of gas is proportional to the temperature

V = constant
P / T = constant
T increases P increases
If T decreases P decreases

By combining Boyle’s, Charles’ and Gay-Lussac’s laws, the general gas equation (or combined gas law) can be obtained:

A

Q

Heat can be transferred in three fundamental ways:

A

Conduction  Between elements in physical contact

•Convection  Between an object and the environment due to fluid motion

•Radiation  Via emission of photons in electromagnetic waves

Q

What laws of motion are seen in action in the piston engine

A

-To move a stationary object or to make a moving object change its direction, a force must be applied
-The air/fuel mixture does not move into the cylinder spontaneously, some force must draw it inside
-The piston moving down in the cylinder does not stop spontaneously. The opposition of a body to change its motion is called inertia

Q

What’s thrust

A

second and third laws.
When a system expels or accelerates mass in one direction, the accelerated mass will cause a force of equal magnitude but opposite direction on that system.

Thrust (T) = Force
Force = Mass (m) × Acceleration (a)
