Question

The piston of an oil engine, of area 0.0045 m2, moves downwards 75 mm, drawing in 0.00028 m3 of fresh air from the atmosphere. The pressure in the cylinder is uniform during the process at 80 kPa, while the atmospheric pressure is 101.325 kPa, the difference being due to the flow resistance in the induction pipe and the inlet valve. Estimate the displacement work done by the air finally in the cylinder
