Engine:
It is a device which converts one form of energy into another
form of useful energy.
chemical Energy → fuel burning→Thermal Energy → Engine
→ Mech. Energy
Based on combustion engines are classified into
Internal Combustion Engine (I.C. Engine)
External Combustion Engine (E.C. Engine)
Internal Combustion Engine
In internal combustion engine the burning or combustion of
the fuel takes place inside the cylinder.
Example-Automobile Engines
Petrol engine
Diesel engine
External Combustion Engine
Long-stroke engines :
• These engines have a relatively long stroke compared to the bore diameter. • Have an l/d
ratio greater than 1.
Square engines :
• Square engines have an l/d ratio close to 1, which means the stroke length is roughly
equal to the bore diameter.
Short-stroke engines
• These engines have a shorter stroke compared to the bore diameter.
• Have an l/d ratio less than 1.

Horizontal cylinder engines
Vertical cylinder engines
Inclined cylinder engines
Main Components of an I.C.E.
Cylinder Block: The foundation of the engine, housing the cylinders where the
combustion process occurs.
It is made of cast iron or aluminum.
Cylinders: These are cylindrical chambers where the combustion of fuel and air takes
place. It is made of cast iron or aluminum.
Pistons: Pistons are cylindrical components that move up and down inside each cylinder.
The pressure created by the combustion process forces the pistons down, converting the
pressure into mechanical motion. It is made of aluminum alloy, sometimes with steel
reinforcement.
Crankshaft: The crankshaft is a rotating shaft connected to the pistons through connecting
rods. It converts the linear motion of the pistons into rotational motion, which is then used
to drive the wheels of the vehicle. It is made of forged steel or nodular cast iron.
Camshaft(s): The camshaft controls the opening and closing of intake and exhaust valves.
It is made of steel or cast iron .It is synchronized with the crankshaft and is responsible
for timing the engine's valve operation
Valves: Valves are responsible for allowing the intake of air and fuel into the
combustion chamber (intake valve) and expelling the exhaust gases (exhaust valve)
after combustion. These are made of stainless steel .
Combustion Chamber: The area inside the cylinder where the air and fuel mixture is
ignited by a spark plug (in petrol engines) or by compression (in diesel engines).
Spark Plugs: In gasoline engines, spark plugs are used to ignite the air-fuel mixture in
the combustion chamber, creating the controlled explosion that drives the piston down.
It is made of Ceramic insulator with metal electrodes
Intake and Exhaust Manifolds: These are pathways that direct the intake air and fuel
mixture into the cylinders and expel the exhaust gases out of the engine, respectively.
Fuel Injection/Carburetor System: The system responsible for mixing air and fuel in the
right proportion before it enters the combustion chamber. Older engines use
carburetors, while modern ones use fuel injection systems
IC Engine Terminology
Top-Dead-Center (TDC): It is position of the piston when it is farthest from the crank
shaft.
Bottom-Dead-Center (BDC): It is the position of the piston when it is nearest to the
crankshaft.
Stroke: When piston moves from TDC to BDC or BDC to TDC is known as stoke.
Stroke Length (L): It is the distance between TDC and BDC.
Bore (D): Inner diameter of the cylinder or diameter of the piston face
Swept Volume (VS): Volume displaced by the piston as it travels through one stroke. 𝑽𝒔
= 𝝅 𝟒 𝑫𝟐𝑳
Total swept 𝑽𝒔 = 𝑲 𝝅 𝟒 𝑫𝟐𝑳 Where K = no. of cylinders
Clearance Volume (VC): It is the volume of the cylinder when piston is at TDC, therefore
it is minimum volume.
Compression ration (r): It is defined as the ratio of volume before compression to the
volume of after compression. Volume before compression = VC + VS Volume after
compression = VC
Four Stroke Engines
The burning gases expand in the cylinder. The burning gases force
the piston to move down. Thus useful work is obtained.
When the piston moves down, the air fuel mixture in the crankcase
is partially compressed.
This compression is known as crank case compression.
At the end of expansion, exhaust port is uncovered.
Burnt gases escape to the atmosphere. Transfer port is also opened.
Scavenging process
Scavenging is a process of pushing exhaust gases out of the
cylinder.
One of the critical aspects of two-stroke engine design is
scavenging, which involves replacing the exhaust gases with
fresh air-fuel mixture to optimize combustion efficiency.
The charge (air fuel mixture or air) enters the engine cylinder
from the crank case at a pressure higher than the exhaust gases

Electric Vehicles:
➤ An electric vehicle (EV) is a vehicle that uses one or more electric motor
for propulsion.
➤ The electric motors are the replacement of ICE.
Main components of electric vehicle are;
➤ Battery
➤Electric motor
➤ Battery charger
➤ Power electric converter
Electric vehicles (EVs) have gained in recent popularity years due to their
potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels.
Advantages and Disadvantages of electric
vehicles Advantages
Environmental Benefits: EVs produce zero emissions, which helps reduce air
pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, leading to improved air quality and a healthy
environment.
Energy Efficiency: Electric vehicles are more energy-efficient than internal
combustion engine vehicles. They convert a higher percentage of energy from the
electricity grid into usable power for driving, reducing energy waste.
Lower Operating Costs: EVs have lower operating costs compared to traditional gas-
powered vehicles. Electricity is generally cheaper than gasoline, and EVs require less
maintenance due to less moving parts.
Reduced Noise Pollution: Electric vehicles are quieter than internal combustion
engine vehicles, reducing noise pollution in urban areas and creating a quieter driving
experience.
Government Incentives: Many governments offer incentives and subsidies to
encourage the adoption of electric vehicles, such as tax credits, reduced registration
fees etc.
Regenerative Braking: EVs often have regenerative braking systems, which recapture
energy during braking and store it in the battery, further improving energy efficiency.
Disadvantages:
Limited Driving Range: One of the primary challenges with EVs is their limited
driving range compared to conventional vehicles. Although ranges are improving, some
EVs may still not be suitable for long- distance travel without frequent charging.
Charging Infrastructure: The availability of charging stations can be limited in some
areas, making it difficult for EV drivers to charge their vehicles conveniently,
especially in remote regions.
Longer Refueling Time: Charging an EV takes longer than refueling a conventional
vehicle with gasoline. Even with fast-charging technology, it may still take several
minutes to an hour to charge fully, depending on the battery capacity and charging
speed.
Initial Cost: Electric vehicles generally have a higher cost compared to traditional
gasoline-powered cars, mainly due to the cost of batteries. However, prices have been
decreasing as technology advances and production scales up.
Battery Life and Recycling: Battery life and recycling are ongoing concerns for EVs.
While battery technology is improving, eventually, all batteries will degrade and need
replacement. Proper battery recycling and disposal are essential to minimize
environmental impacts.
Hybrid Electric Vehicles:
A hybrid vehicle is a type of automobile that combines two or more power sources to
provide propulsion.
The most common type of hybrid vehicle is the hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), which
typically combines an internal combustion engine (ICE) and an electric motor.
➤ The electric motor assists the engine during acceleration and provides regenerative braking to
recharge the battery when the vehicle slows asses down.
Series Hybrid Electric Vehicle (SHEV):
In a series hybrid, the internal combustion engine does not directly drive the wheels.
Instead, it serves as a generator to charge the battery, which then powers the electric
motor that drives the wheels.
The engine may come into direct operation in certain situations, such as when the
battery charge is low or during high-power demands.
Batteries
Electric vehicle (EV) batteries are a critical component of electric vehicles,
providing the energy storage needed to power the electric motor and propel the
vehicle.
These batteries are typically rechargeable and store electrical energy in the form
of chemical energy allowing the vehicle to travel without the need for an internal
combustion engine.
