Objectives

• After Studying this unit you should be able to know. How internal combustion engines are classified,
• Applied Thermal Engineering on which cycles these engines work,
• How and how many times the piston has to move to and fro to complete a cycle,
• What fuels are used in these engines and if there are any harmful effects.

Introduction

• An engines is a device which transforms the chemical energy of a fuel into thermal energy and uses this thermal energy to produce mechanical work.
• Engines normally convert thermal energy into mechanical work and therefore they are called heat engines.

Heat engines can be broadly classified into :
* External Combustion Engines (EC Engines)
* Internal Combustion Engines ( IC Engines)
