The image illustrates an internal combustion engine (IC engine), a heat engine converting chemical energy into mechanical energy. Here's a breakdown:
Components:
It shows a cylinder, piston, connecting rod, crankshaft, valves, and spark plug or fuel injector.
Operation:
The piston moves reciprocally within the cylinder, driven by combustion. This motion is converted to rotary motion by the crankshaft.
Cycle:
The engine operates in a four-stroke cycle: intake, compression, power, and exhaust.
Fuel:
IC engines burn fuel internally, using either spark ignition (gasoline) or compression ignition (diesel).
Applications:
