❑ Classification of Heat Engines

▪ External Combustion Engines (E.C engines)
Is a heat engine where working fluid is heated by combustion in
an external source, through the engine wall or a heat exchanger,
where the oxidation of the fuel occurs outside the engine, which
provides heat to the motive portion of the engine
1. Types of Ignition
(a) Spark Ignition (SI). An SI engine starts the combustion process in each cycle by use of a
spark plug. The spark plug gives a high-voltage electrical discharge between two electrodes
which ignites the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber surrounding the plug.
(b) Compression Ignition (CI). The combustion process in a CI engine starts when the air-
fuel mixture self-ignites due to high temperature in the combustion chamber caused by
high compression.
2. Engine Cycle
(a) Four-Stroke Cycle. A four-stroke cycle experiences four piston movements over two
engine revolutions for each cycle.
(b) Two-Stroke Cycle. A two-stroke cycle has two piston movements over
9
one revolution for
each cycle.
