Adiabatic process - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
a common example of adiabatic compression- the compression stroke in a gasoline engine... (lots of math) ...a final temperature of 751 K, or 477 °C, or 892 °F, well above the ignition point of many fuels. This is why a high compression engine requires fuels specially formulated to not self-ignite...
