The document discusses different types of internal combustion engines, focusing on spark ignition (SI) engines. It provides details on the 4-stroke and 2-stroke combustion cycles of SI engines. The 4-stroke cycle consists of the suction, compression, power/combustion, and exhaust strokes. The suction stroke involves fresh air being drawn into the cylinder. In the compression stroke, the air-fuel mixture is compressed. The power stroke occurs when combustion pushes the piston. Finally, in the exhaust stroke, spent gases are expelled from the cylinder. A 2-stroke SI engine combines the intake, compression, power, and exhaust functions into two strokes per cycle.
