This document discusses turning moment diagrams for internal combustion engines and multi-cylinder engines. It explains that a turning moment diagram is a graphical representation of the turning moment or crank effort at different crank positions. For a four-stroke engine, it shows negative loops for the intake and exhaust strokes, a higher negative loop for compression, and a large positive loop for the power stroke where work is done by expanding gases. For multi-cylinder engines, the overall diagram is the sum of the individual cylinder diagrams, with cranks typically placed 120 degrees apart.
