Effects of Charging and Compression Ratio on Net Work

* The inclosed area in the pV diagram represents the net work of the gases.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Normal and Abnormal Combustions

* Normal combustions are in dotted lines and abnormal combustions in solid lines on the pV diagrams. Decrease in area means less net work from the gasses.
