12. 1. Cylinder
› Part of the engine
where fuel is burnt
and power is
developed.
› Inside diameter is
called as bore.
› Sleeve is fitted
tightly in the
cylinder to prevent
wearing of block.
14. 2. Piston
› Close fitting hollow
– cylinder plunger
moving to and fro
in the cylinder.
› Function – power
developed by the
combustion of fuel
is transmitted by
piston to the crank-
shaft through the
connecting rod.
16. 3. Piston rings
Metallic rings inserted
into groves provided at
top end of the piston.
Function – it maintains
a gas-tight joint
between the piston and
the cylinder.
18. 4. Connecting rod
›Link that connects
the piston and
crankshaft by means
of pin joint.
›Function – it
converts the
rectilinear motion of
the piston into rotary
motion of
crankshaft.
20. 5. Crank and crankshaft
Crank is a lever that is
connects crankshaft and
piston rod.
6. Valves
These are devices which
control the flow of intake
and exhaust gases.
22. 7. Fly wheel
Mounted on crankshaft
to maintain uniform
rotation of crankshaft.
8. Crankcase
Enclosure for
crankshaft and sump
for lubricating oil.
28. Inlet is open exhaust
is closed.
Piston moves from
TDC to BDC.
Crankshaft revolves
half the rotation.
Cranking
Petrol air mixture
drawn into cylinder
due to pressure
difference.
29. Both inlet and exhaust
are closed.
Piston moves from
BDC to TDC.
Crankshaft revolves
half the rotation.
Cranking
Petrol air mixture is
compressed to a ratio
of 1:11.
This mixture is ignited
by spark plug.
30. Piston moves from TDC to
BDC.
Crankshaft revolves half
the rotation.
burnt gases generate
energy and force the piston
to move down.
31. exhaust is open and
inlet is closed.
Piston moves from BDC
to TDC.
crankshaft revolves
half the rotation.
energy for this stroke is
supplied by flywheel.
Burnt gases are
expelled out through
outlet port.
35. Inlet is open exhaust is
closed.
Piston moves from TDC
to BDC and crankshaft
revolves half the
revolution.
Cranking during first
cycle.
Due to the pressure
difference air enters the
cylinder through air
filter.
Suction stroke
36. Inlet and exhaust are
closed.
Piston moves from BDC
to TDC.
Cranking required in first
cycle.
Air will be compressed
to a ratio of 1:20.
Diesel oil is sprayed into
cylinder by injector and
auto-ignition takes
place.
Compression stroke
37. Piston moves from
TDC to BDC.
Inlet and exhaust
valves are closed.
burnt gases generate
energy and force the
piston to move down
till injection of fuel is
complete.
Power stroke
38. exhaust is open and
inlet is closed.
Piston moves from
BDC to TDC.
crankshaft revolves
half the rotation.
energy for this stroke is
supplied by flywheel.
Burnt gases are
expelled out through
outlet port.
Exhaust stroke
41. Performs two strokes to complete one working
cycle.
Works on theoretical Otto cycle.
Two stroke petrol engine
42. Cylinder with one end
fitted with cover and
other end with a sealed
crankcase.
Ports are provided one
below other on
circumference of the
cylinder.
Lower one is the
admission port or inlet port
and upper port is the
exhaust port.
Transfer port diametrically
opposite.
Parts
43. Transfer port
Function – transfer of
petrol air mixture from
crankcase to cylinder.
Spark plug,
connecting rod,
crank.
44. Piston moves from BDC
to TDC.
Air fuel mixture is
drawn in through inlet.
Supply of petrol air
mixture is cut off in
upward motion of
piston.
Further piston will
compress the petrol air
mixture in cylinder.
First stroke or upward stroke
45. At the end of the
stroke spark plug
ignites and
combustion takes
place.
46. Piston moves from
TDC to BDC.
Piston performs the
power stroke.
Transfer port opens
letting the fresh
charge into cylinder.
second stroke or downward stroke
47. Due to this the burnt
gases are expelled
out of the cylinder.
This process is called
as scavenging.
Crankshaft rotates by
half the revolution.
48. Criteria S.I engine C.I engine
Combustion process Ignition takes place by
a spark generated by
spark plug.
Self ignition of the fuel
take place due to high
compression of air in
chamber.
Compression ratio 1 : 11 1 : 22
Suction Mixture of petrol and
air in calculated ratio
is drawn into cylinder.
Only pure air is drawn
into cylinder during
suction stroke.

Thermodynamic cycle Otto cycle Diesel cycle
Weight of the engine Less because of lower
compression ratio,
cylinder size is small.
High, engine size is
large due to higher
compression ratio.
Efficiency Low because of lower
compression ratio.
High because of high
compression ratio.
Speed High because of lighter
engine.
Lower because of
heavy engine.
