A two-stroke engine is a type of internal combustion engine that completes a power cycle with two strokes of the piston during only one crankshaft revolution. This is in contrast to a four-stroke engine that requires four strokes of the piston to complete a power cycle during two crankshaft revolutions. In this article, we will…

IC engines can be classified based on several parameters, such as the method of ignition, the number of strokes, the type of fuel used, the arrangement of cylinders, and many more. Each classification has its own set of advantages and disadvantages, and it is crucial to choose the appropriate type of IC engine for a…

A four-stroke engine is an internal combustion engine that utilises four distinct piston strokes (intake, compression, power, and exhaust) to complete one operating cycle. A complete operation in a four-stroke engine requires two revolutions (7200) of the crankshaft. In this article, let’s study the four-stroke engine. Parts of a Four Stroke Engine Piston In an…

Internal combustion heat engines can be understood by thinking carefully about the ideal gas law: . Raising the temperature of a gas increases the pressure that makes the gas want to expand. An internal combustion engine has a chamber, which has fuel added to it which ignites in order to raise the temperature of the gas. When heat is added to the system, it forces gas inside to…

An IC Engine is a machine that transforms the energy released from the combustion of fuel into mechanical energy. The motion of the piston is then converted into rotary motion by a crankshaft, which can be used to drive a wide range of machines and vehicles. IC engines come in different types, including reciprocating engines,…
