This document discusses internal combustion engines. It begins by defining an engine as a mechanical device that converts one form of energy into another, and an internal combustion engine as one where combustion occurs inside the engine cylinder. It then classifies internal combustion engines based on their cycle of operation, thermodynamic cycle, ignition method, number of cylinders, cooling system, fuel used, and speed. The document proceeds to describe the components and four stroke cycle of a four-stroke engine, showing intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes. It also briefly discusses two-stroke engines and diesel engines before comparing two-stroke and four-stroke engines.
