Internal Combustion Engine
First activity
Analysing and simulating of the movement of an automobile engine’s piston, like the figure below, without considering friction forces.
Physical model of an automobile engine’s piston
Mathematical expressions of the physical model
Second activity
Simulating the thermal behavior and movement within a piston cylinder.
Considering the valves closed and the displacement of the piston depends only of the movement of the crankshaft.
Simulation of the movement of an automobile engine's piston
Third activity
Develop a Geogebra applet that enables the user to find a Taylor polinomial of a function f(x).
The applet should allow:
- Type f(x);
- Change the order of the Taylor polynomial;
- Change the center of the series
