2. Introduction
• In 1876 four stroke engine based on Otto cycle was developed by a German engineer Nikolous Otto. Diesel
Engine was developed by another German engineer Rudolf Diesel in the year 1892.
• Engine refers as “Heat engine is a device which converts chemical energy of fuel into Heat energy and this Heat
energy further convert into mechanical work”.
• Based on where the combustion of fuel take place. Whether outside the working cylinder or inside the working
cylinder
• (a) External combustion engines (E.C.ENGINES), (b) Internal combustion engines (I.C.ENGINES)

3. Classification of I.C.ENGINES
• I.C.ENGINES are may be classified according to
• Type of fuel used as (1)Petrol engine (2)Diesel engine (3)Gas engines (4)Bi-fuel engine (two fuel engine)
• Nature of thermodynamic cycle as: (1)Otto cycle engine (2)Diesel engine cycle (3) Duel or mixed cycle engine

4. Engine Details

5. Engine Terminology

6. • A two-stroke, or two-cycle, engine is a type of internal combustion
engine which completes a power cycle with two strokes (up and down
movements) of the piston during only one crankshaft revolution.
• This is in contrast to a "four-stroke engine", which requires four strokes of
the piston to complete a power cycle

7. Otto Four stroke cycle
• The four stroke petrol engines works on the principle of theoretical Otto cycle. Also known as
constant volume cycle. shown in Fig below
• In four stroke Petrol engine the vale operating for inlet is called inlet valve and the valve
operating for exhaust is called Exhaust valve. In Petrol engine SPARK plug fitted at the top of
cylinder head initiates the ignition of the air fuel mixture.
• The piston performs four strokes to complete one working cycle.
• The four different strokes are ; (1) SUCTION STROKE (2) COMPRESSION STROKE
(3) POWER STROKE (4) EXHAUST STROKE.

8. Four stroke cycle

9. DIESEL FOUR STROKE CYCLE
• The four stroke Diesel Engine works on the principle of Diesel Cycle , also called CONSTANT
PRESSURE HEAT ADDITION PROCESS shown in Fig.
• The four stroke Diesel engine is also consists of SUCTION, COMPRESSION,POWER and
EXHAUST strokes.
• The basic construction of a four stroke diesel engine is same as that of four stroke petrol engine,
except instead of spark plug, a fuel injector is mounted in its place .

11. Working of Four stroke Engine

12. Difference between Petrol and Diesel Engine
The basic differences between Petrol and Diesel Engine given below
PETROL ENGINE DIESEL ENGINE
Works on Otto cycle . Works on Diesel Cycle .
Petrol is used as fuel . Diesel is used as fuel .
Air and fuel mixture enters in cylinder during suction stroke . Only Air is drawn during the suction stroke .
Low compression ratio ranging from 6 to 10 . High compression ratio ranging from14 to 20 .
The compressed charge is ignited by the spark plug. The fuel injector is used in Diesel engine.
High engine speed of about 3000 RPM . Low to medium engine speed ranging from 500 to 1500 RPM.
TheThermal efficiency is lower due to lower Compression ratio . TheThermal efficiency is higher due to high Compression ratio .
Lighter in weight because maximum pressure andTemperature is
less .
Heavier in Weight because maximum pressure and temperature is
high .
Less Costlier . More Costlier .
Maintenance cost is Less . Maintenance cost is Slightly higher .
Easier starting even in cold weather . Difficult to start in cold weather .
Running cost Higher because petrol is Costlier . Running cost is Less because diesel is Cheaper .

13. Two Stroke Cycle
• As the name itself implies, all the processes in two stroke cycle engine are completed
in two strokes.
• In four stroke engine cycle Two complete revolutions of crank shaft is required for
completing one cycle .

14. Two Stroke Cycle Engines
• In two stroke Engine cycle Operations Suction ,
Compression , Expansion and Exhaust are
completed in One Complete revolution of the
crank shaft in two stroke Engines.
• These engines have one Power stroke per
revolution of the crank shaft.
• In two stroke engines there is two openings called
PORTS are provided in place of valves of four
stroke engines.
• These Ports are opened and closed by
Reciprocating Motion of the Piston in the
Cylinder. One port is known as INLET PORT and
another port is known as EXHAUST PORT .

16. Two Stroke Diesel Engine

17. FOUR STROKE ENGINE TWO STROKE ENGINE
Four piston strokes require to complete one cycle . Only two piston strokes required to complete one cycle .
Two complete revolutions of crank shaft is required to complete one cycle. Only one complete revolution of crank shaft is required to complete one cycle .
Equal to half of the speed of engine crank shaft . Number of power stroke/min.
n=N/2
Equal to the speed of engine crank shaft . Number of power stroke/min. n=N
Power is developed in every alternate revolution of crank shaft . Power is also developed in every revolution of crank shaft hence for same
cylinder.
The power is developed in every alternate revolution, hence heavy fly wheel is
required .
The power is developed in every revolution , hence lighter flywheel is required
.
These engines are Heavier, larger and required more space. These engine are lighter more compact and require less space.
The inlet and exhaust valve are require and they are operated by valve
operated by valve operating mechanism.
In place of valve, ports are used which opens and close by motion of piston
itself.
Lubricating oil consumption is less . Lubricating oil consumption is more because lubricating oil is mixed with fuel
Thermal efficiency is higher . Less Thermal efficiency.
Mechanical efficiency is Low because of more number of moving parts . Mechanical efficiency is High because of less number of moving parts .
These Engines are used basically in High Power Application Where more
space is available like Cars , Truck, Tractors , Buses etc .
These Engines are used basically in Low Power Application Where less space
is available like Mopeds ,Scooters ,Motor cycle etc .

Engine Brake Power (Pb)
-This is the power developed at the crankshaft or flywheel.
-The term brake originated from the method used to determine an
engine’s power output by measuring the torque using some form of
friction dynamometer.

29. 29
Engine Mechanical Efficiency m
• Pb = Pi - Pf
Where:

- There is a direct relationship
between BMEP and torque
output.
- The torque curve with engine
rpm is identical to the bmep
curve, with different values.

35. 35
Engine Fuel consumption (FC)

• volume (cm3 or liter) per (sec. or mint, or hr)
or
• mass (kg) per (sec, or mint, or hr).

36. 36
Engine Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC)
• Specific fuel consumption represents the mass or volume of
fuel an engine consumes per hour while it produces 1 kW of
power.
• Typical gasoline engines will have an SFC of about 0.3
kg/(kW.h).
• SFC is an indication of the engine’s thermal or heat efficiency.
• (kg/h)/kW or kg/(kW h)

• The petrol engine is particularly inefficient and at its best may
reach 25% efficiency.
• The thermal efficiency of a diesel engine can reach 35% due to its
higher compression ratio.
