INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE PARTS
TYPES OF ENGINES
 Operation
 Engine stroke
– A stroke is a single traverse of the cylinder
by the piston (from TDC to BDC)
– 1 revolution of crankshaft = 2 strokes of
piston
 Four-Stroke Diesel
Engine
 Intake stroke
– Intake valve open, exhaust valve shut
– Piston travels from TDC to BDC
– Air drawn in
 Compression stroke
– Intake and exhaust valves shut
– Piston travels from BDC to TDC
– Temperature and pressure of air increase
 Four-Stroke Diesel
Engine
 Power stroke
– Intake and exhaust valves shut
– Fuel injected into cylinder and ignites
– Piston forced from TDC to BDC
 Exhaust stroke
– Intake valve shut, exhaust valve open
– Piston moves from BDC to TDC
– Combustion gases expelled
COMPARISION OF PETROL ENGINE WITH DIESEL ENGINE
S.N PETROL ENGINE DIESEL ENGINE

1 It operates on Otto cycle It operates on Diesel cycle.

2 Operating speed is more, Operating speed is less,

ranging from 3000 rpm to ranging from 400 rpm to 3500
6000 rpm rpm
3 It gives less noise It gives more noise

4 Less compression ratio from More Compression ratio,

6 to 8. So thermal efficiency ranging from 12 to 18. So ,
is less. thermal efficiency is more.

5 Less initial cost and More initial cost and

maintenance cost due to maintenance cost due to
simple and lighter heavy weight.
construction.
6 Costlier Cheaper
COMPARISION OF TWO STROKE CYCLE ENGINE AND
FOUR STROKE CYCLE ENGINE
S.N TWO STROKE CYCLE
ENGINE
1 For Every one complete
revolution of the crank shaft ,
there is one power stroke.
2 Power developed is more
than that of 4 stroke cycle
engine, for the same speed.
FOUR STROKE CYCLE
ENGINE
There is only one power
stroke in two complete
revolutions of the crank shaft.
Power developed is less than
that of 2 stroke cycle engine,
for the same speed.

3 Lighter in construction. Heavier in construction.

4 Starting of the engine is easy. Starting of the engine is not

easy.

5 Wear and Tear of the parts is
more.
6 It gives more noise due to
sudden release of exhaust
gases
Wear and Tear of the parts is
less.
It gives less noise, since
exhaust gases are released in
a separate stroke.
