Heat engine
Is a work developing machine which is used to
convert the chemical energy of a fuel into
heat (thermal) energy and then to
mechanical energy.
A heat engine works on the principles of heat
engine cycles
CHAPTER ONE 3
In a heat engine cycle, the following
thermodynamic processes repeat over constant
intervals of time:
1. A heat "source" generates thermal energy that
brings the working substance in the high
temperature state.
2. The working substance generates work in the
"working body" of the engine while
transferring heat to the colder "sink" until it
reaches a low temperature state

3. The working substance is brought back to its
initial state by further heat rejection.
4. During this process some of the thermal
energy is converted into work by exploiting
the properties of the working substance.

TWO STROKE AND FOUR
STROKE CYCLE ENGINE
In a two-stroke engine, the working cycle is
completed in two strokes of the piston or one
revolution of the crankshaft.
This is achieved by carrying out the suction
and compression processes in one stroke and
expansion and exhaust processes in the second
stroke (or more precisely in downward stroke).
CHAPTER ONE 20
TWO STROKE AND FOUR
STROKE CYCLE ENGINE
In a four-stroke engine, the working cycle is
completed in four-strokes of the piston or two-
revolutions of the crankshaft.
This is achieved by carrying out suction,
compression, expansion and exhaust processes
in each stroke.
CHAPTER ONE 21
FOUR STROKE CYCLE PETROL
ENGINE
It is based on Otto cycle. The four strokes of a
petrol engine are described below:
1. Suction or charging stroke: In this stroke,
the inlet valve opens and charge is sucked into
the cylinder as the piston moves downward
from top dead centre(T.D.C.). It continues till
the piston reaches its bottom dead centre (B.D.
C.) as shown in (a).
CHAPTER ONE 22
FOUR STROKE CYCLE PETROL
ENGINE
2. Compression stroke: In this stroke, both the
inlet and exhaust valves are closed and the
charge is compressed as the piston moves
upwards from B.D. C. to TD. C. As a result of
compression, the pressure and temperature of
the charge increases considerably. This
completes one revolution of the crank shaft.
The compression stroke is shown in (b).
CHAPTER ONE 23
FOUR STROKE CYCLE PETROL

CHAPTER ONE 24
FOUR STROKE CYCLE PETROL

3. Expansion or working stroke: Shortly before the
piston reaches T.D.C. (during compression stroke), the
charge is ignited with the help of a spark plug. It
suddenly increases the pressure and temperature of the
products of combustion but the volume, practically,
remains constant.
Due to the rise in pressure, the piston is pushed down
with a great force. The hot burnt gases expand due to
high speed of the piston. During this expansion, some
of the heat energy produced is transformed into
mechanical work. Both the valves are closed and piston
moves from T.D.C. to B.D.C
CHAPTER ONE 25
FOUR STROKE CYCLE PETROL
ENGINE
4. Exhaust stroke: In this stroke, the exhaust
valve is open as piston moves from B.D.C. to
T.D.C. This movement of the piston pushes out
the products of combustion, from the engine
cylinder and is exhausted through the exhaust
valve into the atmosphere, as shown in (d).
This completes the cycle, and the engine
cylinder is ready to suck the charge again.

FOUR-STROKE CYCLE DIESEL
ENGINE
The four strokes of a diesel engine sucking pure
air are described below:
1. Suction or charging stroke: In this stroke,
the inlet valve opens and pure air is sucked
into the cylinder as the piston moves
downwards from the top dead centre(TDC). It
continues till the piston reaches its bottom
dead centre (BDC) as shown (a).
CHAPTER ONE 28
FOUR-STROKE CYCLE DIESEL
ENGINE
2. Compression stroke: In this stroke, both the
valves are closed and the air is compressed as
the piston moves upwards from BDC to TDC.
As a result of compression, pressure and
temperature of the air increases considerably .
This completes one revolution of the crank
shaft. The compression stroke is shown in (b).
CHAPTER ONE 29

CHAPTER ONE 30
FOUR-STROKE CYCLE DIESEL

3. Expansion or working stroke: Shortly before the
piston reaches the TDC , fuel oil is injected through the
fuel injection valve.
The compressed air is sufficiently hot to ignite the fuel.
It increases the pressure and temperature of the
products of combustion.
The fuel oil is continuously injected for a fraction of the
revolution. Due to increased pressure, the piston is
pushed down and some of the heat energy is
transformed into mechanical work.
During this working stroke, both the valves are closed
and the piston moves from TDC to BDC.
CHAPTER ONE 31
FOUR-STROKE CYCLE DIESEL

4. Exhaust stroke: In this stroke, the exhaust
valve is open as the piston moves from BDC to
TDC. This movement of the piston pushes out
the products of combustion from the engine
cylinder through the exhaust valve into the
atmosphere. This completes the cycle and the
engine cylinder is ready to suck the fresh air
again.

TWO-STROKE CYCLE PETROL
ENGINE
A two stroke engine has ports instead of valves. All the
four stages of a two stroke petrol engine are described
below:
1. Suction stage: The piston, while going down towards
BDC, uncovers both the transfer port and the exhaust
port The fresh fuel-air mixture flows into the engine
cylinder from the crank case, as shown (a).
2. Compression stage: The piston, while moving up, first
covers the transfer port and then exhausts port. After
that the fuel is compressed as the piston moves upwards
as shown (b). In this stage, the inlet port opens and
fresh fuel-air mixture enters into the crank case.

3. Expansion stage: Shortly before the piston reaches
the TDC (during compression stroke), the fuel oil is
injected in the form of very fine spray by the fuel
injection valve, as shown in (c).
At this moment, temperature of the compressed air is
sufficiently high to ignite the fuel. It increases the
pressure and temperature of the products of
combustion.
The fuel oil is continuously injected for a fraction of the
crank revolution. The fuel oil is assumed to be burnt at
constant pressure. The piston is pushed with a great
force. During the expansion, some of the heat energy
produced is transformed into mechanical work.
