Due: Oct 8, 2025 by 11:59pm

You will get a piece of poster paper and make a poster of your assigned process on a four-stroke engine. Our combined posters will make a "museum exhibit" along our hallway to cover up some of the particle board brown and make others wish they were in this class. :)

Table 1: Suck (Intake)

Table 2: Squeeze (Compression)

Table 3: Bang part 1 (Combustion/Ignition)

Table 4: Bang, part 2 (Power)

Table 5: Bang part 3 (Cooling)

Table 6: Blow (Exhaust)

Table 7: Distribute yourselves evenly to other groups, ensuring there are no more than 4 to a group.

Table 8: Distribute yourselves evenly to other groups, ensuring there are no more than 4 to a group.

The poster should include

Diagram of the piston in the engine at the stage in the cycle you're assigned to

Explanation of what's happening to the gases during that stage of the cycle (expansion, contraction, temp increase or decrease, pressure change)

Diagram to match your explanation... show what's happening to the gas particles in the piston

Graph that illustrates the thermodynamic process that's occurring (isothermal, isochoric, isobaric, adiabatic)

At least 4 colors

Your Engine simulation activity could help with this.
