Could you please help me with the plotting of graphs in thermodynamics
One of the most commonly studied examples of a thermodynamic system is a
piston-cylinder engine where the following steps take place: (Initially, you may
assume that the cylinder contains a fixed quantity of air and a negligibly small
quantity of fuel.)
a. The small amount of fuel burns and releases a lot of energy (heat is
added to the system); assume this takes place in 5 seconds.
b. The piston gets displaced until the pressure reaches atmospheric
pressure; assume this takes place over 30 seconds.
c. The gases present in the cylinder are exhausted into the atmosphere;
assume this takes place over 10 seconds.
Plot the following curves qualitatively:
i. Temperature vs. Time
ii. Pressure vs. Time
iii. Volume vs. Time
iv. Pressure vs. Volume
v. Pressure vs. Temperature
vi. Volume vs. Temperature
