🔍 Key Concepts

• Identify what the horizontal axis (left to right) and vertical axis (up and down) represent on a pressure‑volume (P‑V) diagram. • Look carefully at the relative positions of points e and f: which coordinate changes more, pressure or volume? • Remember that valve and port events (opening/closing) usually occur at specific crank positions and are shown as single points, while changes in pressure or volume occur along a line segment.

💭 Think About

• From e to f, trace the direction of the arrow on the curve. Does the line move mostly downward, mostly sideways, or both? What does that imply physically in the cylinder? • If the piston is at or very near one end of the stroke, would the cylinder volume be changing much during this short part of the diagram, or would something else be changing more significantly? • Ask yourself whether a closing of a valve or port would be drawn as an extended line segment or as a distinct point on the P‑V diagram.

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare the pressure value at e to the pressure value at f on the vertical axis – is it higher, lower, or about the same? • Compare the volume value at e to the volume value at f on the horizontal axis – has it changed significantly? • Confirm that between two points connected by a short curve, the diagram is depicting a process (change in state), not a discrete mechanical event like a valve suddenly closing.
