Working & Classifications of IC engine

Dr.G.Kumaresan
Associate Professor
Department of Mechanical engineering
 General objective:
 Understand the working of four stroke and two stroke,
Compression Ignition and Spark Ignition engines and
distinguish between the IC engines.

Specific objective:

1. To classify IC Engines. [U/C/E]

2. To identify the components of IC engine and their usage.
[U/C/E]
3. To distinguish between 4 S and 2 S engine; petrol and
diesel engine. [An/C/T]
4. To develop novel applications using cam shaft and
eccentric mechanism. [C/C/T]
 Internal Combustion Engines

The internal combustion engine is

an engine in which the combustion
of fuel-oxidizer mixture occurs in a
confined space

applied in:
automotive
rail transportation
power generation
ships
aviation
garden appliances

– four stroke -

1. intake 2. compression
starting position
a. piston starts moving
a. piston moves up
down
b. both valves closed
b. intake valve opens
c. air-fuel mixture
c. air-fuel mixture gets in
gets compressed

When your vehicle stops while driving, it's engine

misfire. It means there is a problem with spark plug, it
may doesn't work correctly. It may be caused by a
spark plug wire or its tip which connected to the wire
damaged. ...sometimes spark plug surrounded with
over smoke dust.. It also causes reduced fuel
economy and reduced engine power.
