Q
how ic engine works
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
An internal combustion engine. also known as an IC engine. utilizes the burning of fuel inside its cylinders to produce energy. This energy is then converted into mechanical work to move the pistons. The four main stages of operation for IC engines are intake. compression. combustion. and exhaust. During the intake stage. a mixture of fuel and air is drawn in by the downward motion of the piston. The engine featured here has poppet intake valves that open due to vacuum pressure created during this stroke. As the air-fuel mixture is compressed by the piston. its temperature rises significantly and increases its potential energy. Near the top of the compression stroke. a spark plug ignites the compressed fuel. resulting in combustion. The resulting expansion of the burning fuel pushes the piston downward. completing a working stroke. To release the burned fuel mixture from the cylinder. an exhaust valve is opened during the exhaust stage. The use of internal combustion engines is widespread due to their high power-to-weight ratio and compatibility with different types of fuel. It's worth noting that two-stroke and four-stroke engines both perform these same stages in each stroke.
