2. Introduction to Heat Engine
• Heat Engine:
A machine which converts heat energy into mechanical energy (work) as a result of
combustion
• Combstion:
A process in which fuel combines with oxygen or air and liberates heat. As a
result of combustion of hydrocarbons (of which the fuel consists of), CO2 and H2O are
produced. These types of reactions are exothermic and significant amount of heat is evolved
which increases temperature and pressure.
• For Petrol:
2C8H18 +25O2 = 16CO2 + 18H2O + Heat
• For Diesel:
2C16H34 +49O2 = 32CO2 + 34H2O + Heat
• For Natural Gas:
CH4 + O2 = CO2 + H2O + Heat
• General case:
Hydrocarbons (Fuel) + O2 = C02 + H2O + Heat

3. Types Heat Engine
• External Combustion Engine:
In steam engine the combustion of fuel takes
place outside the engine and the steam thus
formed is used to run the engine. Thus it is
known external combustion engine.
• Internal Combustion Engine:
In case of internal combustion engine the
combustion of fuel takes place inside the
engine cylinder

5. Classification of IC Engine
IC engine can be further classified as:
• Stationary or mobile
• Horizontal and vertical
• Low, Medium or high speed
Two distinct types of the IC Engines used for
either mobile or stationary operations are
• Diesel type IC Engine
• Carburetor type IC Engine

7. Internal combustion engines
It is a machine/prime mover
which converts the
reciprocating motion into
rotary motion as a result of
thermal expanion caused by
combustible gases
As the combustion takes place
inside the engine cylinder, so
the engine is called internal
combustion engine

8. Components of Internal combustion Engines
Cylinder:
The nucleus of all activity but principally for
receiving and burning the fuel
Piston:
Receives power generated in the cylinder
Connecting Rod:
Transmits power to crankshaft and assists in
changing to and fro motion to rotary motion of
crankshaft
Crankshaft:
Receives power from the piston through connecting
rod and converts the reciprocating motion into
rotary motion

9. Components of Internal combustion Engines
Cylinder head:
Covers the top of the cylinder and
houses other components
Crankcase:
Covers the bottom of the cylinder and
holds engine lubricating oil and other
components
Inlet and Exhaust valves:
Inlet receives fuel (petrol engine) or air
(diesel engine) while exhaust releases
burnt gases.

10. Components of Internal combustion Engines
Camshaft:
Operates the valves
Fly wheel:
Helps keep engine running, by its inertia
during idle strokes (inlet, compression,
exhaust)
Engine block
Foudation block to which all the above
components are directly or indirectly attached

11. Engine Terminology
Bore (d):
The internal diameter of the cylinder
Stroke (l):
The maximum length of travel of piston from one
extreme position to other extreme position in one
direction
Top dead cenre(TDC):
The position of the piston at the end of its travel when
moving towards the cylinder head
Bottom Dead Centre (BDC):
The position of the pistonat the end of its travel when

displacement and the clearance volume
TCV = P.D + C.V
Compression ratio (CR)
The ratio of total cylinder volume to clearance
volume
C.R = TCV/CV

compression ratio is 6. Calculate:
a- Piston Displacement (PD), b- Clearance volume (CV )
c- Total Cylinder Volume (TCV)
Solution:
Given data
cylinder bore = diameter of piston(d) = 100 mm
Stroke length (l) = 124 mm
Compression Ration (CR) = 6
(a) Piston Displacement(PD) =??
We know that
PD = (πd2/4)*l
= [(3.14)(100)2/4]*124 = 973,400 mm3
(b) Clearance volume (CV) = ??
TCV = PD + CV (dividing by CV)
CR = PD/CV + 1
PD = (CR-1)CV
CV = PD/(CR -1)
= 973,400 / (6-1) = 194680 mm3
Cylinder Volume (TCV) = ??
TCV = PD + CV
= 973400 + 194680 =1168080 mm3

18. Four Stroke( cycle) SI Engine
A four stroke cycle engine one which completes its cycle (suction, compression, power, exhaust)
in four stroke of the piston resulting two complete revolution (360*2 = 720) of crankshaft
Suction stroke
The piston moves from TDC to BDC. The inlet valve is opened to allow the fuel mixture to enter
and fill the partial vacuum created by the movement of the piston. The exhaust valve remaim
closed.
Compression stroke
The inlet valve is closed. The exhaust valve also remain closed. The piston moves from BDC to
TDC compressing the fuel mixture into the clearance volume; thereby raising the temperature
and pressure
Power Stroke
When the piston approaches TDC during the compression stroke, a spark ignites the fuel mixture
and expanding gases, drive the piston from TDC to BDC
Exhaust Stroke
The piston returns from BDC to TDC, sweeping the the burnt fuel/gases through the exhaust valve
which has been opened, while the intake valve remain closed

21. Four stroke cycle-CI engines
In case of diesel engine, the same number of piston events take place as in 4-
troke petrol engine but the method of igniting of the fuel is different. The
following sequence of operation occurs
Intake /suction stroke
Only air is drawn into the cylinder
Compression Stroke
The air is compressed into the cylinder which raised its temperature and
pressure very high
Power stroke
Just at the end of compression stroke, a fine spay of diesel is injected into the
hot compessed air which ignites the fuel instantly and expanding gases, drive
the piston for the power stroke.
Exhaust Stroke
Similar to that of petrol engine

22. Two stroke Engine
• This type of engines completes one cycle in only two strokes of the piston.
• There are no definite intake and exhaust valves but instead, there are
openings or ports located in the cylinder wall which get covered and
uncovered as the piston moves up and down the cylinder.
• When the piston moves from TDC to BDC, a fresh fuel mixture enters the
intake port, at the same time the burnt fuel escapes though the exhaust port
which is also uncovered.Due to scavenging, some of the unburnt fuels also
escapes with exhaust gases, which not only reduce the thermal efficieny but
also cause environmental pollution. Now a days, these engines are rarely used
• The compression and power stroke are similar to those for four stroke
engines.
• However to complete one revolution of the crankshaft, revolution of the
piston, makes only two strokes which is equivalent to 2*180 = 360° or one
revolution of the crankshaft.
