Internal Combustion Engine Basics

The document discusses internal combustion engines. It begins by defining a heat engine as any engine that derives heat energy from fuel combustion and converts it into mechanical work. Heat engines are classified into internal combustion engines and external combustion engines. It then discusses the general aspects of engine mechanisms, showing an early design of a four-stroke four-cylinder internal combustion engine. The main components are the combustion chamber where the fuel-air mixture burns, pistons that transform the combustion energy into movement via the crankshaft. Finally, it lists some key components of a spark ignition engine such as the engine block, camshaft, connecting rod, and exhaust manifold. It also explains the four stages of operation in a four

Heat engine
any type of engine or machine derives heat energy from the combustion of fuel
or any other source and convert this energy into mechanical work is term as a
heat engine.

Heat engine classified into two classes:

Heat engine

Internal External
combustion combustion
engine engine

Spark Compressio
Steam
ignition(SI n ignition(CI

GENERAL ASPECTS ABOUT ENGINES MECHANISM:
 
 

The above image is an early design for internal combustion four-stroke four-
cylinder engine. The main idea for any engine is the existence of a combustion
chamber, in which fuel-air mixture exists. Then, this mixture is allowed to burn;
either using a spark or by increasing its temperature and pressure of the mixture.
Due to combustion, energy is liberated and the piston is forced to move.
Accordingly, it transforms the produced power to the gearbox using the crankshaft.
It should also be noted that air is allowed to enter and mix with the fuel using the
camshaft mechanism.
As previously mentioned, the main difference between the engines are either the
number of strokes or the cycle that is used to ignite the fuel.
Components of spark ignition engine
Engine block: body of the engine contain cylinder.
Camshaft: rotating shaft used to push open valves.
Connected rod: rod connected the piston with the rotating crankshaft.
Exhaust manifold: piping system which carries exhaust gases from engine to atmosphere.
Combustion chamber: the en of the cylinder between the head and the piston face where
combustion occurs.
The system of operation of a four stroke internal combustion
engine has four stages to it, [ Intake, Compression, Power and
Exhaust].
