thermodynamics - Energy provided to piston in compression and exhaust stroke?


In the compression stroke of a petrol engine, the mixture is compressed by the upward movement of the piston. From where does the piston get energy to compress the mixture?



Similarly, in the exhaust stroke, the piston again moves upward to expel the gases. Where does the piston get energy from?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
