Cold inflation pressure is the inflation pressure of tires as measured before a car is driven and the tires warmed up. Recommended cold inflation pressure is displayed in the owner's manual and on the Tire Information Placard attached to the vehicle door edge , pillar , glovebox door or fuel filler flap .
The ideal Otto cycle is an example of an isochoric process when it is assumed that the burning of the gasoline-air mixture in an internal combustion engine car is instantaneous. There is an increase in the temperature and the pressure of the gas inside the cylinder while the volume remains the same.
The gauge and cold junction are usually calibrated at room temperature, 72 °F (22 °C). Because the thermocouple is calibrated for room temperature, the gauge readings will only be 100% accurate at that engine compartment temperature. If the engine compartment temperature is colder, the CHT temperature will display higher.
A simplification is made by assuming changes of the kinetic and potential energy that take place in the system (mass of gas) can be neglected and then applying the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) to the mass of gas as it changes state as characterized by the gas's temperature, pressure, and volume.
A pair of lights indicate insufficient (cold, blue) and excessive (hot, red) engine temperature. [8] A single light usually indicates only an overheat condition in engine. In electric cars, it is usually to monitor the EV battery temperature and indicate the EV battery is overheating or is too cold to operate. One example is in a Nissan Leaf EV.
A spring or ram-powered air rifle works by a piston rapidly compressing the air in the chamber behind the projectile forcing the projectile (usually a pellet) out at speed. Where the air contains flammable contaminants or additions, the temperature rise associated with the compression may ignite the mixture in a similar way to fuel in a diesel ...

An exhaust gas temperature gauge (EGT gauge or EGT sensor) is a meter used to monitor the exhaust gas temperature of an internal combustion engine in conjunction with a thermocouple-type pyrometer. EGT gauges are found in certain cars and aeroplanes. By monitoring EGT, the driver or pilot can get an idea of the vehicle's air-fuel ratio (AFR).
