What Is A Piston?

WATCH HERE

A piston is a mechanical device that moves upward to compress gas and downward due to an explosion in a cylinder to transform heat energy into mechanical work.

A piston follows a cyclical process for the continuation of the heat-converting process. The process is achieved in three ways:

1. Providing heat to the gas inside the cylinder for useful work

2. Removing heat from the cylinder to decrease the pressure so that the gas can easily be compressed

3. Applying work to the piston when it’s in its initial state, ready to perform the cycle again.
