Consider a mixture of air and gasoline vapor in a cylinder with a piston. The original volume is 40. cm³. If the combustion of this mixture releases 950. J of energy, to what volume will the gases expand against a constant pressure of 650. torr if all the energy of combustion is converted into work to push back the piston?

4. (a) In an industrial process, a fuel-air mixture occupying a volume of 500 L is fitted with a piston. When the mixture is ignited at a constant pressure of 600mmHg, 2.0 kJ of energy is released. To what volume the mixture would have expanded if all the energy released is converted as work done by the system to push the piston?

The Otto cycle in Figure P18.64 models the operation of the internal combustion engine in an automobile. A mixture of gasoline vapor and air is drawn into a cylinder as the piston moves down during the intake stroke O → A. The piston moves up toward the closed end of the cylinder to compress the mixture adiabatically in process A → B. The ratio r = V₁/V₂ is the compression ratio of the engine. At B, the gasoline is ignited by the spark plug and the pressure rises rapidly as it burns in process B → C. In the power stroke C → D, the combustion products expand adiabatically as they drive the piston down. The combustion products cool further in an isovolumetric process D → A and in the exhaust stroke A → O, when the exhaust gases are pushed out of the cylinder. Assume that a single value of the specific heat ratio characterizes both the fuel-air mixture and the exhaust gases after combustion. Prove that the efficiency of the engine is .
