Engine- An engine is a machine designed to convert energy into
useful work
Image of Mercedes engine with 6 cylinder
Heat engine- Devices converting heat energy into motion are commonly
referred to simply as engines.
Types-
There are two type of engines
1. Internal Combustion Engine
2. External Combustion Engine
Internal combustion engine- Combustion takes place inside engine called
I.C.Engine.
Examples. Jet engine, Automobile Engine etc.

Showing Internal combustion petrol four stroke engine
1.Suction stroke
2. Expansion stroke
3. Power stroke
4.Exhaust stroke
Exhaust Inlet
Internal combustion 2 stroke engine
Ports are used in
2 stroke engine in
the place of
valve.
360’ revolution of
crankshaft
Exhaust
Inlet
External combustion Engine- Combustion takes place outside
engine
Examples. Turbines, steam locomotive etc.
Classification on the basis of cylinder
1. Single cylinder engine
2. Multi cylinder engine
1. Single cylinder engine- A single cylinder engine is a basic piston engine configured
of an internal combustion engine.
Example. Motorcycles, auto rickshaw, scooter, moped etc.
2. Multi cylinder engine- It consist multiple cylinder and balancing of all
piston is very complicated as compare to single cylinder engine
These multi cylinder engine may be of different types
Some of them are
1. Two cylinder engine
2. Three cylinder engine
3. Four cylinder engine
4. Five cylinder engine
And many more.
Arrangement of cylinder can be
Straight twin engine
V- twin engine
Flat twin engine
U-engine
Two cylinder engine- It consist two cylinder configured to rotate crankshaft. Each
piston revolve crankshaft at 360’
Three cylinder engine- These type of engine consist of three cylinder and crank
throws at 120’.
Four cylinder engine- Consist of four cylinder
Five cylinder engine- Five piston works at same time these types of engine is
called five cylinder engine.
