Amit Kumar submitted a report on internal combustion engines. The report introduces IC engines and their parts. It explains how IC engines work through starting and operation. It describes the different types of IC engines based on number of strokes, ignition type, mechanical/thermodynamic cycle, and configuration. Diagrams of two-stroke and four-stroke engines are included. The conclusion discusses where high power-to-weight ratio engines like turbines are used, as well as common uses of reciprocating piston engines in land, sea, and air vehicles. It also summarizes the Otto and diesel cycles that govern gasoline and diesel engines respectively.
