What is an internal combustion engine used for?
What are the basic components of IC engine?
- The two basic components of an IC engine are a stationary cylinder and a motile piston, the piston being pushed down by growing combustion gases inside the cylinder, which in succession revolves the crankshaft and by way of a gear system in the power train drives the vehicle. Combustion in IC engines may be intermittent or continuous.
What is the difference between SI engine and ci engine?
- In the case of a SI engine, the spark plug receives a high voltage pulse that generates the spark which gives it its name and ignites the charge. In the case of a CI engine the fuel injector quickly injects fuel into the combustion chamber as a spray; the fuel ignites due to the high temperature.
What is the base of a reciprocating internal combustion engine?
- The base of a reciprocating internal combustion engine is the engine block, which is typically made of cast iron or aluminium.
