ENGINE CYCLES AND DIESEL ENGINES

Engines Cycle

Two-stroke

This system manages to pack one power stroke into every two strokes of the piston (up-down). This is achieved by exhausting and re-charging the cylinder simultaneously.

The steps involved here are:

1. Intake and exhaust occur at bottom dead center. Some form of pressure is needed, either crankcase compression or super-charging.

2. Compression stroke: Fuel-air mix compressed and ignited.
In case of Diesel: Air compressed, fuel injected and self ignited

3. Power stroke: piston is pushed downwards by the hot exhaust gases.

Four-stroke

Engines based on the four-stroke ("Otto cycle") have one power stroke for every four strokes (up-down-up-down) and employ spark plug ignition. Combustion occurs rapidly, and during combustion the volume varies little ("constant volume").

They are used in cars, larger boats, some motorcycles, and many light aircraft. They are generally quieter, more efficient, and larger than their two-stroke counterparts.

The steps involved here are:
1. Intake stroke: Air and vaporized fuel are drawn in.

2. Compression stroke: Fuel vapor and air are compressed and ignited.

3. Combustion stroke: Fuel combusts and piston is pushed downwards.

4. Exhaust stroke: Exhaust is driven out. During the 1st, 2nd, and 4th stroke the piston is relying on power and the momentum generated by the other pistons.

In that case, a four cylinder engine would be less powerful than a six or eight cylinder engine.

Diesel cycle

Most truck and automotive diesel engines use a cycle reminiscent of a four-stroke cycle, but with a compression heating ignition system, rather than needing a separate ignition system. This variation is called the diesel cycle.

In the diesel cycle, diesel fuel is injected directly into the cylinder so that combustion occurs at constant pressure, as the piston moves.

Diesel Engine

A diesel engine is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition to burn the fuel, which is injected into the combustion chamber during the final stage of compression. This is in contrast to a petrol engine (known as a gasoline engine in North America) or gas engine (using a gaseous fuel, not gasoline), which uses the Otto cycle, in which an air-fuel mixture is ignited by a spark plug.

The diesel cycle was invented by Rudolf Diesel and it has the highest thermal efficiency of any regular internal or external combustion engine due to its very high compression ratio. Low-speed diesel engines (as used in ships and other applications where overall engine weight is relatively unimportant) often have a thermal efficiency which exceeds 50%.

The diesel is similar to the four stroke, but uses a different method to ignite the fuel.

For more details on 2-Stoke & 4-Stoke Internal Combustion Engines, follow the link given below- Back<< Internal Combustion Engines

Intake

The intake valve opens, and fresh air (containing no fuel), is drawn into the cylinder.

Compression

As the piston rises, the air is compressed, causing its temperature to rise. At the end of the compression stroke, the air is hot enough to ignite fuel.

Injection

Near the top of the compression stroke, the fuel injector drives fuel into the cylinder. The fuel immediately ignites upon contact with the hot compressed air.

Power

As the fuel burns, the gas in the cylinder heats and expands, driving the piston.

Exhaust

The exhaust valve opens, and the exhaust is driven out of the cylinder.

 

IC ENGINES

Definition of IC Engines

the Internal Combustion engine is an engine in which the combustion of a fuel (generally, fossil fuel) occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber. In an internal combustion engine the expansion of the high temperature and pressure gases, which are produced by the combustion, directly applies force to a movable component of the engine, such as the pistons or turbine blades and by moving it over a distance, generate useful mechanical energy.

Internal combustion engines are most commonly used for mobile propulsion in vehicles and portable machinery. In mobile equipment, internal combustion is advantageous since it can provide high power-to-weight ratios together with excellent fuel energy density. Generally using fossil fuel (mainly petroleum), these engines have appeared in transport in almost all vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, boats, and in a wide variety of aircraft and locomotives).

2- Stroke IC Engines & its Operations

A two-stroke engine is an internal combustion engine that completes the thermodynamic cycle in two movements of the piston compared to twice that number for a four-stroke engine.

This increased efficiency is accomplished by using the beginning of the compression stroke and the end of the combustion stroke to perform simultaneously the intake and exhaust (or scavenging) functions. In this way two-stroke engines often provide strikingly high specific power.

Gasoline (spark ignition) versions are particularly useful in lightweight (portable) applications such as chainsaws and the concept is also used in diesel compression ignition engines in large and non-weight sensitive applications such as ships and locomotives.

The two stroke engine employs both the crankcase and the cylinder to achieve all the elements of the Otto cycle in only two strokes of the piston.

Intake

The fuel/air mixture is first drawn into the crankcase by the vacuum that is created during the upward stroke of the piston. The illustrated engine features a poppet intake valve; however, many engines use a rotary value incorporated into the crankshaft.

Crankcase Compression

During the downward stroke, the poppet valve is forced closed by the increased crankcase pressure. The fuel mixture is then compressed in the crankcase during the remainder of the stroke.

Transfer/Exhaust

Toward the end of the stroke, the piston exposes the intake port, allowing the compressed fuel/air mixture in the crankcase to escape around the piston into the main cylinder. This expels the exhaust gasses out the exhaust port, usually located on the opposite side of the cylinder. Unfortunately, some of the fresh fuel mixture is usually expelled as well.

Compression

The piston then rises, driven by flywheel momentum, and compresses the fuel mixture. (At the same time, another intake stroke is happening beneath the piston).

Power

At the top of the stroke, the spark plug ignites the fuel mixture. The burning fuel expands, driving the piston downward, to complete the cycle. (At the same time, another crankcase compression stroke is happening beneath the piston.)

Since the two stroke engine fires on every revolution of the crankshaft, a two stroke engine is usually more powerful than a four stroke engine of equivalent size. This, coupled with their lighter, simpler construction, makes the two stroke engine popular in chainsaws, line trimmers, outboard motors, snowmobiles, jet-skis, light motorcycles, and model airplanes.

Unfortunately, most two stroke engines are inefficient and are terrible polluters due to the amount of unspent fuel that escapes through the exhaust port.

4-Stoke IC Engines & its Operations

The four stroke engine was first demonstrated by Nikolaus Otto in 18761, hence it is also known as the Otto cycle. The technically correct term is actually four stroke cycle. The four stroke engine is probably the most common engine type nowadays. It powers almost all cars and trucks.

The cycle begins at top dead center (TDC), when the piston is farthest away from the axis of the crankshaft. A stroke refers to the full travel of the piston from Top Dead Center (TDC) to Bottom Dead Center (BDC).


The four strokes of the cycle are intake, compression, power, and exhaust. Each corresponds to one full stroke of the piston; therefore, the complete cycle requires two revolutions of the crankshaft to complete.

Intake Stroke

At the very beginning of the engine’s operation, the piston moves down while the intake valve is opened simultaneously. This creates a vacuum within the cylinder and hence the fuel + air mixture rushes in to fill in that space from the Intake manifold that opens up at the Intake valve (just like your lemonade rallies straight up your straw into your mouth). Thus, in the intake stroke, as the name suggests, the cylinder just sucks in the air fuel mixture which happens because the piston moved down and the intake valve opened up.

Compression stroke

Immediately after the first stroke (Intake stroke), the piston would expectedly move up into the empty space it had created (which is now filled with the air/fuel mixture) , while both the valves remain closed and then compress this mixture. As stated earlier in the first part of this series, the gas (with fuel in it) is now being compressed to a certain degree which raises its temperature and pressure to a great degree. The cylinder now has air and fuel mixture trapped within the combustion chamber at a state of high pressure and temperature.

Power Stroke

While the air/fuel mixture has been compressed and is ready to be burnt, and the valves still remaining closed, it is then ignited (by a spark in case of gasoline or diesel injected directly in case of diesel engines). The combustion then takes place rapidly, with an explosion of tremendous force while the expanding gases with temperatures and pressures having reached a maximum now act on the piston and push it down with a great force. This is effectively the stroke in which the power is generated (and hence called that way).

Exhaust stroke

The piston having been pushed very hard in the power stroke is now on its way back up towards the combustion chamber and now pushes the burnt gases and fuel out of the combustion space through the exhaust valve, which is now open, on its way up. This way it cleans up the space inside the combustion chamber for the next sequence of 4 strokes to begin.
