Introduction to Internal Combustion Engines


Introduction

Internal combustion engine needs


fuel, ignition and compression
in order to run.

• Four-Stroke Gasoline Engine

• Two-Stroke Gasoline Engines

• Diesel Engine

• Rotary Engine

• Steam Engine
Introduction
What is an Internal Combustion Engine?
Two Classes of Combustion Engines
Basic Types of Internal Combustion Engines
Basic Types of Internal Combustion Engines (cont…)
Advantages of ICE over ECE
1. More mechanical simplicity and lower weight/power ratio.

2. They do not need auxiliary equipment, such as boiler &


condenser.

3. They could be started and stopped in a short time.

4. Their thermal efficiency is higher than other heat engines.

5. Their initial cost is low.

These advantages make I.C.E. more suitable in the transport


sector; motor cars, small ships, submarines, and small air craft
