4-stroke Cycle SI Engine
Principle of Operation
• Cycle of operation is completed in 4-strokes
of the piston or 2 revolutions of the
crankshaft.
• Each stroke consists of 180°, of crankshaft
rotation and hence a cycle consists of
720°of crankshaft rotation.

Two-stroke Cycle Engine
principle of Operation
• 2 & 4 stroke – Difference! - method of filling cylinder
with fresh charge & removing burned gases from
cylinder
• 2 stroke engine suction is accomplished by
air/charge compressed in crankcase/by blower.
• No piston strokes required for suction/exhaust
operations. 2 piston strokes required to complete
cycle, compression and expansion or power stroke.

•Based on scavenging process (air flow)

ii)Loop scavenging (MAN, Schnuerle, Curtis type)
iii)Uni-flow scavenging (opposed piston, poppet
valve, sleeve valve)
•Based on overall port-timing

Scavenging process
• The replacement of the products of
combustion in the cylinder from the previous
power stroke with fresh-air charge to be
burned in the next cycle .
• can be divided into four distinct periods
- Pre-blow down,
- Blow down,
- Scavenging &
- Additional-Charging

Parameters
Delivery ratio
Delivery ratio usually varies between 1.2 to 1.5, except
for closed crankcase-scavenged, where it is less
than unity.
Scavenging efficiency
If means all gases existing in the cylinder at
the beginning of scavenging have been swept out
completely.

25. Prof. B Dinesh Prabhu P E S C E Mandya
• The actual scavenging process is neither one
of perfect scavenging nor perfect mixing. It
probably consists partially of perfect
scavenging, mixing and short-circuiting.
• The first phase of the scavenging process is a
perfect scavenging process which then
gradually changes into a complete mixing
process

Depend on following important basic parameters
• Scavenging method
• Shape, inclination & width of ports
• Amount of air/charge delivered
• Scavenging pressure
• Mean inlet velocity –fn. of pr. Ratio, temp. of
scavenging & scavenging factor
• Duration (crank angle) of port opening &
average port height uncovered by piston

Comparison of Two-stroke
SI And CI Engines
• 2-stroke SI engine suffers from
-fuel loss & idling difficulty.
-fuel loss & hence low indicated thermal efficiency
-More Dilution, Short Ckt., Back Firing at low speeds,
less air available for combustion after scavenging
-Fuel injection improves idling, avoids loss of fuel
and also eliminates backfiring as there is no fuel
present in the inlet system.

Advantages & Disadvantages
of Two-stroke Engines
Advantages (over 4-stroke Engines)
• Power developed nearly twice compared
• Work required to overcome the friction of the exhaust and
suction strokes is saved.
• More uniform turning moment - lighter flywheel
• Engines lighter & occupy less space
• Construction is simple - reduces maintenance problems
• Because of scavenging, burnt gases do not remain in the
clearance space as in case of four-stroke engines.
35. Prof. B Dinesh Prabhu P E S C E Mandya
Disadvantages (over 4-stroke Engines)
• High speed - less efficient - reduced volumetric η
• Short ckt.ing increases fuel consumption & reduces the thermal
η
• Effective compression is less
• Liable to cause a heavier consumption of lubricating oil.
• With heavy loads, engines get heated due to excessive heat
produced. Also at light loads, running of engine is not very
smooth because of the increased dilution of charge.
Advantages & Disadvantages
of Two-stroke Engines
36. Prof. B Dinesh Prabhu P E S C E Mandya
The SI engine offers the following
advantages
• Low initial cost.
• Low weight for a given power output.
• Smaller size for a given power output.
• Easy starting.
• Less noise.
• Less objectionable exhaust gas odor and less
smoke.
SI and CI Engine application
37. Prof. B Dinesh Prabhu P E S C E Mandya
• The SI engine finds wide application in automobiles
because passenger comfort and in small airplanes
because of low weight.
• Two stroke petrol engines finds extensive use in
motor cycles, scooters, mopeds, pleasure motor
boats, etc., because of simplicity and low cost.
• The SI engine is also used for light mobile duty like
lawn movers, mobile generating sets, water pumps,
air compressors, etc...
SI engine application
38. Prof. B Dinesh Prabhu P E S C E Mandya
The CI engine offers the following advantages.
• Low specific fuel consumption at both full load and
part load conditions.
• Utilizes less expensive fuels.
• Reduced fire hazard,
• Long operating life.
• Better suited for supercharging.
• Better suited for two-stroke cycle operating, as there
is no loss of fuel in scavenging.
SI and CI Engine Application
39. Prof. B Dinesh Prabhu P E S C E Mandya
• Because of fuel economy the CI engine finds wide
usage in buses, trucks, locomotives, stationary
generating plants, heavy duty equipment such as
bulldozers, tractors and earthmoving machinery.
• Because of the reduced fire hazard the CI engine is
also used for confined installations & marine use.
• The great advantage of CI engine is lower fuel
consumption which counteracts the disadvantage of
higher initial cost, if engine used for long duties.
