The document provides an overview of heat engines and internal combustion engines. It defines heat engines as machines that convert heat energy into mechanical energy through combustion. Internal combustion engines are heat engines where combustion occurs inside the engine cylinder. The key components and terminology of internal combustion engines are described. The four stroke cycle of spark ignition engines and compression ignition engines is summarized. Two stroke engines that complete the cycle in two strokes are also introduced. Examples calculating engine specifications like displacement, clearance volume, and compression ratio are included.
