    Which of the following is the best description of the power stroke? The ignition of the air fuel mixture increases pressure in the cylinder, which applies force to the face of the piston, driving it down. As the piston travels upward, it pushes the products of combustion out of the open exhaust valve. The crankshaft drives the piston down as the flywheel absorbs the energy created by the ignition of air fuel mixture. An air-fuel mixture is drawn into the combustion chamber as the piston moves toward the bottom of the cylinder.
    Which one of the following energy resources can be replenished in a short period of time? Biomass Compressed natural gas Coal Petroleum
    intake valve intake compression JO BI Tuel injector the temperature of the gas; power exnaust vaive 0010 exhaust The diagrams show the cylinder of a petrol engine in 4 stages. Petrol vapour and air are drawn into the cylinder, The mixture is then squeezed together, and then exploded by a spark. The explosion pushes down the piston. The exhaust gases are then expelled from the cylinder. Use the first law of thermodynamics to analyse the energy changes during the process. At each stage explain what happens to i) the pressure of the gas; ii)
