There are two main types of internal combustion engines: spark ignition gasoline engines and compression ignition diesel engines. Both operate on a four-stroke cycle of intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust. Gasoline engines mix air and fuel for ignition by spark, while diesel engines only intake air for compression ignition when fuel is injected into hot compressed air. The expanding combustion gases push the piston to rotate the crankshaft and power the vehicle.

Combustion, also known as burning, is the basic chemical
process of releasing energy from a fuel and air mixture. In an internal combustion engine (ICE), the ignition and combustion of the fuel occurs within the engine itself. The engine then partially converts the energy from the combustion to work. The engine consists of a fixed cylinder and a moving piston. The expanding combustion gases push the piston, which in turn rotates the crankshaft. Ultimately, through a system of gears in the powertrain, this motion drives the vehicle’s wheels.
There are two kinds of internal combustion engines
currently in production: the spark ignition gasoline engine and the compression ignition diesel engine. Most of these are four-stroke cycle engines, meaning four piston strokes are needed to complete a cycle. The cycle includes four distinct processes: intake, compression, combustion and power stroke, and exhaust.
Spark ignition gasoline and compression ignition diesel
engines differ in how they supply and ignite the fuel. In a spark ignition engine, the fuel is mixed with air and then inducted into the cylinder during the intake process. After the piston compresses the fuel-air mixture, the spark ignites it, causing combustion. The expansion of the combustion gases pushes the piston during the power stroke. In a diesel engine, only air is inducted into the engine and then compressed. Diesel engines then spray the fuel into the hot compressed air at a suitable, measured rate, causing it to ignite. INVESTIGACION SOBRE LOS TIPOS DE MOTORES DE COMBUSTION INTERNA
La combustión, también conocida como quema, es el
proceso químico básico de liberar energía de una mezcla de aire y combustible. En un motor de combustión interna (ICE), el encendido y la combustión del combustible se produce dentro del propio motor. Luego, el motor convierte parcialmente la energía de la combustión en trabajo. El motor consta de un cilindro fijo y un pistón móvil. Los gases de combustión en expansión empujan el pistón, que a su vez hace girar el cigüeñal. En última instancia, a través de un sistema de engranajes en el tren motriz, este movimiento impulsa las ruedas del vehículo.
Hay dos tipos de motores de combustión interna
actualmente en producción: el motor de gasolina de encendido por chispa y el motor diésel de encendido por compresión. La mayoría de estos son motores de ciclo de cuatro tiempos, lo que significa que se necesitan cuatro golpes de pistón para completar un ciclo. El ciclo incluye cuatro procesos distintos: admisión, compresión, combustión y carrera de potencia y escape.
Los motores de gasolina de encendido por chispa y los
motores diésel de encendido por compresión difieren en la forma en que suministran y encienden el combustible. En un motor de encendido por chispa, el combustible se mezcla con aire y luego se introduce en el cilindro durante el proceso de admisión. Después de que el pistón comprime la mezcla de aire y combustible, la chispa la enciende y provoca la combustión. La expansión de los gases de combustión empuja el pistón durante la carrera de potencia. En un motor diésel, solo se introduce aire en el motor y luego se comprime. Luego, los motores diésel rocían el combustible en el aire comprimido caliente a una velocidad medida adecuada, provocando que se encienda.
