Internal combustion engine
A internal combustion engine or heat engine is a technique that combustion of fuel occur inside the cylinder which drive piston and through piston crankshaft is move and produced power transmitted from crankshaft to rear wheel of motor.
- Internal combustion Inventor is Etienne Lenoir.
- First modern engine invented by NICOLOUS Otto .After modification done by Samuel brown and George Brayton.
- Internal combustion engine efficiency is between 20% to 35% for running motor
Classification of internal combustion engine
. Based on design:
(1) Reciprocating engine
There is a piston reciprocating(to fro) motion within cylinder example- two stroke engine, and four stroke engine.
(2) Rotary engine
There is a rotor that produced power by rotating motion inside the chamber example- Wankel rotary engine, turbine engine etc.
. Based on fuel used:
(1) Petrol engine.
(2) Diesel engine.
(3) Gas engine.
. Based on cycle of operation:
(1) Otto cycle engine.
(2) Diesel cycle engine.
(3) Dual cycle engine.
. Based on number of stroke:
(1) Four stroke engine.
(2) Two stroke engine.
. Based on type of ignition:
(1) Spark ignition engine
(2) compression ignition engine
There is no spark plug at inside the cylinder head and fuel is ignited by heat of compression example- diesel engine.
. Based on number of cylinder:
(1) single cylinder engine- used in motorcycle, scooter.
(2) Double cylinder engine
(3) Multi-cylinder engine- used in cars, trucks etc.
. Based on arrangement of cylinder:
(1) vertical engine.
(2) Horizontal engine.
(3) Radical engine.
(4) V-engine.
(5) W-type engine.
(6) Opposed cylinder engine.
. Based on valve arrangement:
(1) L-Head engine.
(2) I-Head engine.
(3) F-Head engine.
(4) T-Head engine.
. Based on cooling type:
(1) Air cooled engine- used in motorcycle, scooters.
(2) Water cooled engine- used in car, bus, heavy duty vechiels.
. Based on fuel injection system:
(1) Carburetor engine.
(2) Air injection engine.
(3) Airless or solid injection engine.
