Four Stroke petrol Engine (S.I. Engine)

The four strokes of a internal combustion engine are:

• Intake• Compression • Power• Exhaust

Each stroke = 180˚ of crankshaft revolution.

Each cycle requires two revolutions

of the crankshaft (720˚ rotation), and one revolution of the camshaft to

complete (360˚ rotation).

Page 56: APPLIED THERMAL ENGINEERING Prof. kiran gore. Contents a) Power producing devices  Boiler  Internal combustion engine  Turbines b) Power absorbing

Intake StrokeFirst StrokeThe piston moves down the cylinderfrom TDC (Top Dead Center) to BDC (Bottom Dead Center).

This movement of piston causes low air pressure in the cylinder (vacuum)

Mixture of Air and Fuel in the ratioof 14.7 : 1 (air : fuel) is drawn intothe cylinder.

Intake valve stays open and theExhaust valve stays closed duringthis stroke.

Operation of two-stroke engineThe two stroke engine employs the crankcase aswell as the cylinder to achieve all the elements ofthe cycle in only two strokes of the piston.

360 degrees rotation of crankshaft completes the cycle.

Page 69: APPLIED THERMAL ENGINEERING Prof. kiran gore. Contents a) Power producing devices  Boiler  Internal combustion engine  Turbines b) Power absorbing

Intake.  The fuel/air mixture is first drawn into the crankcase by the vacuum created during the upward stroke of the piston through the reed valve.

Compression. The piston then rises, driven by flywheel momentum, and compresses the fuel mixture.  (At the same time, another intake stroke is happening beneath the piston).  

Intake & Compression stroke

Page 70: APPLIED THERMAL ENGINEERING Prof. kiran gore. Contents a) Power producing devices  Boiler  Internal combustion engine  Turbines b) Power absorbing

Power. At the top of the stroke the spark plug ignites the fuel mixture. The burning fuel expands, driving the piston downward.

Exhaust/Transfer : Toward the end of the stroke,the piston exposes the intake port, allowing the compressed fuel/air mixture in the crankcase toescape around the piston into the main cylinder. This expels the exhaust gasses out the exhaust port, usually located on the opposite side of the cylinder.

Two-stroke engines have three important advantages over four-stroke engines:

Two-stroke engines do not have valves, which simplifies their construction and lowers their weight.

Two-stroke engines fire once every revolution, while four-stroke engines fire once every other revolution. This gives two-stroke engines a significant power boost.

Two-stroke engines can work in any orientation, which can be important in something like a chainsaw. A standard four-stroke engine may have problems with oil flow unless it is upright, and solving this problem can add complexity to the engine.

Page 78: APPLIED THERMAL ENGINEERING Prof. kiran gore. Contents a) Power producing devices  Boiler  Internal combustion engine  Turbines b) Power absorbing

These advantages make two-stroke engines lighter, simpler and less expensive to manufacture.

Two-stroke engines also have the potential to pack about twice the power into the same space because there are twice as many power strokes per revolution.

The combination of light weight and twice the power gives two-stroke engines a great power-to-weight ratio compared to many four-stroke engine designs.

You don't normally see two-stroke engines in cars, however. That's because two-stroke engines have a couple of significant disadvantages that will make more sense once we look at how it operates.

Two Stroke Advantages

Page 79: APPLIED THERMAL ENGINEERING Prof. kiran gore. Contents a) Power producing devices  Boiler  Internal combustion engine  Turbines b) Power absorbing

You can see that the piston is really doing

three different things in a two-stroke engine: On one side of the piston is the combustion

chamber, where the piston is compressing the air/fuel mixture and capturing the energy released by the ignition of the fuel.

On the other side of the piston is the crankcase, where the piston is creating a vacuum to suck in air/fuel from the carburetor through the reed valve and then pressurizing the crankcase so that air/fuel is forced into the combustion chamber.

Meanwhile, the sides of the piston are acting like valves, covering and uncovering the intake and exhaust ports drilled into the side of the cylinder wall.

Page 80: APPLIED THERMAL ENGINEERING Prof. kiran gore. Contents a) Power producing devices  Boiler  Internal combustion engine  Turbines b) Power absorbing

It's really pretty neat to see the piston doing so many different things! That's what makes two-stroke engines so simple and lightweight.

If you have ever used a two-stroke engine, you know that you have to mix special two-stroke oil in with the gasoline.

Oil Requirements

Page 81: APPLIED THERMAL ENGINEERING Prof. kiran gore. Contents a) Power producing devices  Boiler  Internal combustion engine  Turbines b) Power absorbing

Now that you understand the two-stroke cycle you can see why.

In a four-stroke engine, the crankcase is completely separate from the combustion chamber, so you can fill the crankcase with heavy oil to lubricate the crankshaft bearings, the bearings on either end of the piston's connecting rod and the cylinder wall.

In a two-stroke engine, on the other hand, the crankcase is serving as a pressurization chamber to force air/fuel into the cylinder, so it can't hold a thick oil. Instead, you mix oil in with the gas to lubricate the crankshaft, connecting rod and cylinder walls.

If you forget to mix in the oil, the engine isn't going to last very long!

Page 82: APPLIED THERMAL ENGINEERING Prof. kiran gore. Contents a) Power producing devices  Boiler  Internal combustion engine  Turbines b) Power absorbing

Two-Strokes Usage

You can now see that two-stroke engines have two important advantages over four-stroke engines: They are simpler and lighter, and they produce about twice as much power. So why do cars and trucks use four-stroke engines?

Page 83: APPLIED THERMAL ENGINEERING Prof. kiran gore. Contents a) Power producing devices  Boiler  Internal combustion engine  Turbines b) Power absorbing

There are four main reasons:

1. Two-stroke engines don't last nearly as long as four-stroke engines. The lack of a dedicated lubrication system means that the parts of a two-stroke engine wear a lot faster.

2. Two-stroke oil is expensive, and you need about 4 ounces of it per gallon of gas. You would burn about a gallon of oil every 1,000 miles if you used a two-stroke engine in a car.

3. Two-stroke engines do not use fuel efficiently, so you would get fewer miles per gallon.

4. Two-stroke engines produce a lot of pollution -- so much, in fact, that it is likely that you won't see them around too much longer. The pollution comes from two sources. The first is the combustion of the oil. The oil makes all two-stroke engines smoky to some extent, and a badly worn two-stroke engine can emit huge clouds of oily smoke.
