D is the valve opening and closing position marked on the flywheel with respect to their dead
center.
Fuel valve opening and closing: The fuel valve opens at 10° to 15 °before TDC and closes at 15°
to 20 ° after TDC. This is because better evaporation and mixing fuel. The extreme position of
the bottom of the cylinder is called “Bottom Dead Centre” [BDC].IN the case of horizontal
engine, this is known as “Outer Dead Centre” [ODC]. The position of the piston at the top of the
cylinder is called “Top Dead Centre” [TDC].In case of horizontal engine this is known as “Inner
Dead Centre” [TDC]. In case of horizontal engine this is known as “inner dead center “[IDC].
Suction or inlet valve opens slightly before top dead center in vertical engine (or inner dead
center in horizontal engines) so that the charge is not restricted at the dead center position. The
valve continues to be opened.
Well beyond the bottom dead center or outer dead center in horizontal engines to admit more
charge due to high velocity at charge in the inlet manifold. The charge air from atmosphere
enters the cylinder due to suction stroke. The angle between inlet valve opening and closing
gives the suction process in crank angles in degrees. Exhaust valve opens considerably before the
end of the working stroke that is before bottom dead center. This no doubt reduces the power
output from the engine.
1.3. Procedure
1. First the TDC and BDC of the engine are found
correctly by means of rotating the flywheel and

5.2 CI Engines
The compression engine is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to
ignite a fuel charge. Mechanical ignition components used in gasoline engines, such as spark plugs,
coils, and distributor assemblies, are not required for ignition. Instead, as the piston in a diesel
engine cylinder moves upward on its compression stroke, it compresses the air in the cylinder. The
air temperature in the cylinder increases to the point that the diesel fuel ignites as it is injected into
the cylinder.
Ignition
Because compression raises the air temperature above the fuel’s ignition temperature, combustion
occurs instantly as the fuel is injected, eliminating the need for a mechanical ignition system. This
process is called compression ignition. The elimination of spark plugs, coils, ignition wiring,
distributors, and transistorized ignition controls is a major factor in the diesel’s simplicity and
maintenance economy. It also eliminates systems that are the cause of many performance problems
in gasoline engine.
On the other hand there are 2 stroke cycle CI engines in the power range of 200-500 kW and
operating at speeds of up to approximately 2000 rpm. In the two stroke engine, the inlet and
exhaust valves are eliminated by using the piston to cover and uncover ‘ports’ or passages in the
cylinder and crankcase.
Beginning the cycle with the piston about the half-way through its compression stroke, all three
ports are covered. The upward movement of the piston compresses a fresh charge of mixture in
the combustion chamber. At the same time the pressure in the crankcase is reduced below
atmospheric pressure. Near the top of the stroke the lower edge of the piston uncovers the inlet
port, allowing the pressure of the atmosphere to fill the crankcase of the engine with fresh mixture
from the carburetor.
The mixture in the combustion chamber is ignited in the same way as in the four stroke engine
near the top of the stroke. The high pressure of the burned gases drives the piston down the
cylinder. Just below TDC the piston covers the inlet port, and further downward movement
compresses the mixture in the crankcase. Near the bottom of the stroke the top edge of the piston
uncovers the exhaust port, allowing the burned gases to flow out of the cylinder under their own
pressure. Slightly further down, the piston uncovers the transfer port and the compressed mixture
in the crankcase flows into the cylinder above the piston. The shaped piston deflects the mixture
upwards, preventing it flowing straight across the cylinder and out through the exhaust port. Some
engines use shaped transfer ports instead of a deflecting piston. As the piston rise on its next stroke
the transfer and exhaust ports are covered and cycles of operations begins again.
Operation of IC Engines
Spark Ignition Engines Spark ignition engines are mainly used in automotive vehicles such as
automobiles and motorcycles. These engines cannot be very big in size because of auto ignition
(abnormal combustion) problems of flame propagated combustion of premixed mixtures. They
induce a mixture of air and fuel during the induction process and then compress the induced charge
to a pressure of approximately 12-15 atmospheres and a temperature of 500-600 K during the
compression process and towards the end of the compression process the hot and compressed 5
mixture is ignited by a spark produced by the electrical ignition system of the engine across the
points of spark plug situated in the cylinder (10-20 degrees before TDC). Then the pressure and
temperature of the gas inside the cylinder rapidly rise to a maximum of approximately 70-80
atmospheres and a temperature of 2400-2600 K during the combustion process.
A flame, starting at the spark plug location, sweeps across the combustion chamber (volume
between the cylinder head and piston top) at mean speeds which may reach 10-20 m/s, such that
the movement of the piston towards TDC and away from TDC is negligibly low as this happens.
Therefore for most practical calculations this type of combustion process is considered to happen
at constant volume. The products of combustion then push the piston away from TDC and the
expansion of these gases during the expansion process goes on until the piston nearly arrives at
BDC.
At about 40-50 degrees crank angles away from BDC the exhaust valve is opened by the valve
mechanism which is synchronized to the motion of the crankshaft through the camshaft. Even
though the piston continues to travel towards BDC the pressure inside the cylinder rapidly
decreases from about 4 atmospheres when the exhaust valve opens to about 1.1 to 1.25
atmospheres, as the gases rush out of the exhaust valve into the exhaust port and from there into
the exhaust manifold and exhaust pipe. The piston then returns towards TDC and starts pushing
out the remaining gases out forcefully during the exhaust process.
This motion of the piston requires outside work which will be supplied by one of the other pistons
(which will be going through the expansion process) or in the case of a single cylinder engine it
will be supplied by the flywheel. Towards the end of the exhaust process the inlet valve opens and
mixture of air and fuel vapor enters the cylinder even though there will still be some exhaust gases
going out of the exhaust valve which will normally be closed after TDC. This overlapping of the
inlet and exhaust valves occurs for almost all IC engines. How many degrees crank angle this
overlap should be depends on the engine type and operating speed. Inertia effects on the gases is
important in determining the valve timing of IC engines and this timing is usually done by testing
the performance of the engine in order to arrive at optimum values.
For naturally aspirated engines, the air is compressed to approximately 40 atmospheres and 900 K
during the compression process. Liquid fuel is injected into the cylinder towards the end of
compression (10-20 degrees before TDC) and the fuel spray atomizes into small droplets,
evaporates and mixes with hot air, forms pockets of local combustible mixtures and then auto
ignites after having gone through a series of preliminary (slow rate) reactions in these pockets.
Once combustion starts, the remaining fuel rapidly evaporates and enters the combustion reaction.
During all this the injection of fuel is still continuing.
After the initially fast spontaneous burning of the fuel which entered first 6 into the combustion
chamber the continued injection of fuel results in a diffusive type of burning, since this fuel has to
diffuse through the products of combustion in order to meet with the oxygen molecules. This kind
of combustion of course takes more time than the flame propagation in SI engines. Therefore CI
engines cannot normally operate as fast as SI engines. On the other hand they can have cylinder
bores up to approximately one meter whereas SI engine cylinder bores are normally limited to 0.15
m The expansion and exhaust processes of 4 stroke cycle CI engines are exactly the same as in 4
stroke cycle SI engines.
Testing of IC Engines
In real life, vehicles always operate against a resistance. This resistance may be made of rolling
friction, slope, air and inertia resistance. The dynamometer loading simulates the total of these
resistances. Therefore the steady state performance of IC engines is tested on dynamometers. The
dynamic testing of engines mounted on vehicles is done on chassis dynamometers. The
dynamometers used for engine testing may be hydraulic or electrical.
Hydraulic Dynamometers
Basically there are two types of hydraulic dynamometers; friction and agitator types. The basic
working principle of the dynamometer is that the coupling force arises from the change in
momentum of water as it is transported from the rotor vanes and back. The engine power is
absorbed by the water which circulates through the dynamometer.
Electric Dynamometers
This is essentially an electric generator used for loading the engine. The output of the generator
must be measured by electric instruments and corrected in magnitude for generator efficiency.
Since the generator efficiencies depend on loading, speed and temperature, the results obtained
will not be very precise. However the generator may be cradled and the torque exerted by the stator
frame may directly be measured. This torque arises from the magnetic coupling between the
armature and stator and is equal to the engine brake torque. DC or AC type electric generators of
may be used in these dynamometers. AC type electric dynamometers have better dynamic response
characteristics and are used in cycle simulation tests.

5.9 Comments
The diesel engine operates at high engine efficiency unlike for gasoline and steam engines.
Unlike gasoline engines, the diesel engine has no spark plug. It is the heat of the compressed air
that ignites the fuel in a diesel engine. The diesel engine uses a four stroke cycle.
The four strokes are first, the intake stroke, second, the compression stroke, third, the
combustion stroke, lastly, the exhaust stroke. Based from the data obtained the mechanical
efficiency is directly proportional to thermal efficiency.

6.2 CI Engines
The compression engine is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to
ignite a fuel charge. Mechanical ignition components used in gasoline engines, such as spark plugs,
coils, and distributor assemblies, are not required for ignition. Instead, as the piston in a diesel
engine cylinder moves upward on its compression stroke, it compresses the air in the cylinder. The
air temperature in the cylinder increases to the point that the diesel fuel ignites as it is injected into
the cylinder.
Ignition Because compression raises the air temperature above the fuel’s ignition temperature,
combustion occurs instantly as the fuel is injected, eliminating the need for a mechanical ignition
system. This process is called compression ignition. The elimination of spark plugs, coils, ignition
wiring, distributors, and transistorized ignition controls is a major factor in the diesel’s simplicity
and maintenance economy. It also eliminates systems that are the cause of many performance
problems in gasoline engine.

7.1 Theory
A petrol engine (known as a gasoline engine in North
America) is an internal combustion engine with
spark-ignition, designed to run on petrol (gasoline)
and similar volatile fuels. It differs from a diesel
engine in the method of mixing the fuel and air, and
in the fact that it uses spark plugs to initiate the
combustion process. In a diesel engine, only air is
compressed (and therefore heated), and the fuel is
injected into the now very hot air at the end of the
compression stroke, and self-ignites. In a petrol
engine, the fuel and air are usually pre-mixed before
compression (although some modern petrol engines
now use, cylinder-direct petrol injection).
1. The induction stroke, during which the combustible charge of air and fuel is taken into the
combustion chamber and cylinder, as a result of the partial vacuum or depression created by the
retreating piston.
2. The compression stroke, which serves to raise both the pressure and temperature of the
combustible charge as it is compressed into the lesser volume of the combustion chamber by the
advancing piston.
3. The power stroke, immediately preceding which the combustible charge is ignited by the
sparking plug and during which the gases expand and perform useful work on the retreating piston.
4. The exhaust stroke, during which the products of combustion are purged from the cylinder and
combustion chamber by the advancing piston, and discharged into the exhaust system.
It thus follows that one entire cycle of operations occupies two complete revolutions of the engine
crankshaft. Since energy is necessarily required to carry out the initial induction and compression
strokes of the engine piston before firing occurs, an electrical starter motor is used for beginning
cranking of the engine. Once the engine is running the energy required for performing subsequent
induction, compression and exhaust strokes is derived from the crankshaft and flywheel system,
by virtue of its kinetic energy of rotation. Kinetic energy is a term used to communicate the energy
possessed by a body due to its mass and motion. The theory of an engine flywheel is therefore to
act as a storage reservoir for rotational kinetic energy, so that it absorbs energy upon being speeded
up, and sends it when slowed down.
In the four-stroke cycle, the engine inlet and exhaust valves perform the functions of admitting the
combustible charge before its compression, and releasing the burnt gases after their expansion.
The opening and closing of the inlet and exhaust valves are not, in real practice, timed to coincide
exactly with the beginning and ending of the induction and exhaust strokes; nor is the spark timed
to occur exactly at the beginning of the power stroke. At a later stage the reasons for these
departures in valve and ignition timing from the fundamental four-stroke operating cycle will be
made clear.
7.2 Procedure
Firstly, engine is attached with the engine bed
Make sure that the sensors and pressure gauges of engine bed should be in working
condition
Start the engine and measure temperatures from the engine bed sensors
Measure engine speed, dynamometer load and governor position
Exhaust gas pressure and lube oil pressure are measured by pressure gauges
Suction air pressure difference is measured by manometer on engine bed.
Remember, suction air pressure is atmospheric
Time is measured on stop watch for 30ml diesel fuel and from this fuel consumption rate
is calculated and flowmeter is used to calculate cooling water flow
These values are used to calculate the different parameters like charge efficiency,
volumetric efficiency, specific fuel consumption, brake thermal efficiency, Air to fuel
ratio etc.
