When the suction stroke starts, the pressure of the mixture is atmospheric pressure. Actually it takes a little fraction of piston movement to create a negative pressure in the cylinder and thereafter this negative pressure is maintained throughout the suction stroke. So when the suction stroke ends the pressure is below atmospheric pressure, as the mixture is inside the cylinder, it will also be at the same pressure as in the cylinder.

@Chahat.
The mixture pressure is lowest at end of suction stroke. But the chamber pressure is lowest at beginning of suction.

I think pressure at beginning of suction stroke = pressure at the end of the suction stroke as per the pv diagram of a petrol engine.

If you see the timing of suction, compression, expansion and exhaust strokes in term of degree,
Then, you will see that the suction valve opens 15 degrees before top dead centre which is a high-pressure zone but the suction valve closes at 30 degrees after bottom dead centre which is pretty low-pressure zone.
Hence, the pressure is least at the end of suction stroke.

Lowest temperature is achieved at beginning of suction stroke.
Lowest pressure is achieved at the end of suction stroke.

Use the formula PV=mRT as the volume will increase the pressure inside the cylinder will reduce and hence if the volume is less pressure will be more.

Yes, correct. Agree @Mech.

In a petrol engine, only at the end of the suction stroke, the mixture has the lowest pressure.

Can anybody know how?
It should be the begining of suction stroke.
It should be the begining of suction stroke.
