While an engine is in operation, the crankshaft rotates continuously at a nearly constant <a href="/wiki/Angular_speed" class="mw-redirect" title="Angular speed">speed</a>. In a 4-stroke ICE, each piston experiences 2 strokes per crankshaft revolution in the following order. Starting the description at TDC, these are:<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEStone19921–2_29-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEStone19921–2-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTENunney20075_30-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENunney20075-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ol><li>Intake, induction or suction: The intake valves are open as a result of the cam lobe pressing down on the valve stem. The piston moves downward increasing the volume of the combustion chamber and allowing air to enter in the case of a CI engine or an air-fuel mix in the case of SI engines that do not use <a href="/wiki/Gasoline_direct_injection" title="Gasoline direct injection">direct injection</a>. The air or air-fuel mixture is called the <i>charge</i> in any case.</li> <li>Compression: In this stroke, both valves are closed and the piston moves upward reducing the combustion chamber volume which reaches its minimum when the piston is at TDC. The piston performs <a href="/wiki/Work_(physics)" title="Work (physics)">work</a> on the charge as it is being compressed; as a result, its pressure, temperature and density increase; an approximation to this behavior is provided by the <a href="/wiki/Ideal_gas_law" title="Ideal gas law">ideal gas law</a>. Just before the piston reaches TDC, ignition begins. 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.</li> <li>Power or working stroke: The pressure of the combustion gases pushes the piston downward, generating more <a href="/wiki/Kinetic_energy" title="Kinetic energy">kinetic energy</a> than is required to compress the charge. Complementary to the compression stroke, the combustion gases expand and as a result their temperature, pressure and density decreases. When the piston is near to BDC the exhaust valve opens.

The 4 processes of intake, compression, power and exhaust take place in only 2 strokes so that it is not possible to dedicate a stroke exclusively for each of them. Starting at TDC the cycle consists of: </p> <ol><li>Power: While the piston is descending the combustion gases perform work on it, as in a 4-stroke engine. The same <a href="/wiki/Thermodynamics" title="Thermodynamics">thermodynamics</a> for the expansion apply.</li> <li>Scavenging: Around 75° of crankshaft rotation before BDC the exhaust valve or port opens, and blowdown occurs. Shortly thereafter the intake valve or transfer port opens. The incoming charge displaces the remaining combustion gases to the exhaust system and a part of the charge may enter the exhaust system as well. The piston reaches BDC and reverses direction. After the piston has traveled a short distance upwards into the cylinder the exhaust valve or port closes; shortly the intake valve or transfer port closes as well.</li> <li>Compression: With both intake and exhaust closed the piston continues moving upwards compressing the charge and performing work on it. As in the case of a 4-stroke engine, ignition starts just before the piston reaches TDC and the same consideration on the thermodynamics of the compression on the charge apply.</li></ol> <p>While a 4-stroke engine uses the piston as a <a href="/wiki/Positive_displacement_pump" class="mw-redirect" title="Positive displacement pump">positive displacement pump</a> to accomplish scavenging taking 2 of the 4 strokes, a 2-stroke engine uses the last part of the power stroke and the first part of the compression stroke for combined intake and exhaust. The work required to displace the charge and exhaust gases comes from either the crankcase or a separate blower. For scavenging, expulsion of burned gas and entry of fresh mix, two main approaches are described: Loop scavenging, and Uniflow scavenging. SAE news published in the 2010s that 'Loop Scavenging' is better under any circumstance than Uniflow Scavenging.<sup id="cite_ref-first-hand.info_2_stroke_diesel_19-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-first-hand.info_2_stroke_diesel-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Crankcase_scavenged">Crankcase scavenged</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Internal_combustion_engine&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Crankcase scavenged"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Two-Stroke_Engine.gif" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/33/Two-Stroke_Engine.gif" decoding="async" width="165" height="287" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="165" data-file-height="287" /></a><figcaption>Diagram of a crankcase scavenged valveless 2-stroke engine in operation</figcaption></figure> <p>Some SI engines are crankcase scavenged and do not use poppet valves. Instead, the crankcase and the part of the cylinder below the piston is used as a pump. The intake port is connected to the crankcase through a <a href="/wiki/Reed_valve" title="Reed valve">reed valve</a> or a rotary disk valve driven by the engine. For each cylinder, a transfer port connects in one end to the crankcase and in the other end to the cylinder wall. The exhaust port is connected directly to the cylinder wall. The transfer and exhaust port are opened and closed by the piston. The reed valve opens when the crankcase pressure is slightly below intake pressure, to let it be filled with a new charge; this happens when the piston is moving upwards. When the piston is moving downwards the pressure in the crankcase increases and the reed valve closes promptly, then the charge in the crankcase is compressed. When the piston is moving downwards, it also uncovers the exhaust port and the transfer port and the higher pressure of the charge in the crankcase makes it enter the cylinder through the transfer port, blowing the exhaust gases. Lubrication is accomplished by adding <i><a href="/wiki/Two-stroke_oil" title="Two-stroke oil">two-stroke oil</a></i> to the fuel in small ratios. <i>Petroil</i> refers to the mix of gasoline with the aforesaid oil. This kind of 2-stroke engine has a lower efficiency than comparable 4-strokes engines and releases more polluting <a href="/wiki/Exhaust_gas" title="Exhaust gas">exhaust gases</a> for the following conditions: </p> <ul><li>They use a <i><a href="/wiki/Total-loss_oiling_system" title="Total-loss oiling system">total-loss oiling system</a></i>: all the lubricating oil is eventually burned along with the fuel.</li> <li>There are conflicting requirements for scavenging: On one side, enough fresh charge needs to be introduced in each cycle to displace almost all the combustion gases but introducing too much of it means that a part of it gets in the exhaust.</li> <li>They must use the transfer port(s) as a carefully designed and placed nozzle so that a gas current is created in a way that it sweeps the whole cylinder before reaching the exhaust port so as to expel the combustion gases, but minimize the amount of charge exhausted. 4-stroke engines have the benefit of forcibly expelling almost all of the combustion gases because during exhaust the combustion chamber is reduced to its minimum volume. In crankcase scavenged 2-stroke engines, exhaust and intake are performed mostly simultaneously and with the combustion chamber at its maximum volume.</li></ul> <p>The main advantage of 2-stroke engines of this type is mechanical simplicity and a higher <a href="/wiki/Power-to-weight_ratio" title="Power-to-weight ratio">power-to-weight ratio</a> than their 4-stroke counterparts. Despite having twice as many power strokes per cycle, less than twice the power of a comparable 4-stroke engine is attainable in practice. </p><p>In the US, 2-stroke engines were banned for road vehicles due to the pollution.

An exhaust valve or several like that of 4-stroke engines is used. The final part of the intake manifold is an air sleeve that feeds the intake ports. The intake ports are placed at a horizontal angle to the cylinder wall (I.e: they are in plane of the piston crown) to give a swirl to the incoming charge to improve combustion.

The crankcase and the part of the cylinder below the exhaust port is used as a pump. The operation of the Day cycle engine begins when the crankshaft is turned so that the piston moves from BDC upward (toward the head) creating a vacuum in the crankcase/cylinder area. The carburetor then feeds the fuel mixture into the crankcase through a <a href="/wiki/Reed_valve" title="Reed valve">reed valve</a> or a rotary disk valve (driven by the engine). There are cast in ducts from the crankcase to the port in the cylinder to provide for intake and another from the exhaust port to the exhaust pipe. The height of the port in relationship to the length of the cylinder is called the "port timing". </p><p>On the first upstroke of the engine there would be no fuel inducted into the cylinder as the crankcase was empty. On the downstroke, the piston now compresses the fuel mix, which has lubricated the piston in the cylinder and the bearings due to the fuel mix having oil added to it. As the piston moves downward it first uncovers the exhaust, but on the first stroke there is no burnt fuel to exhaust. As the piston moves downward further, it uncovers the intake port which has a duct that runs to the crankcase. Since the fuel mix in the crankcase is under pressure, the mix moves through the duct and into the cylinder. </p><p>Because there is no obstruction in the cylinder of the fuel to move directly out of the exhaust port prior to the piston rising far enough to close the port, early engines used a high domed piston to slow down the flow of fuel. Later the fuel was "resonated" back into the cylinder using an expansion chamber design. When the piston rose close to TDC, a spark ignited the fuel. As the piston is driven downward with power, it first uncovers the exhaust port where the burned fuel is expelled under high pressure and then the intake port where the process has been completed and will keep repeating. </p><p>Later engines used a type of porting devised by the Deutz company to improve performance. It was called the <a href="/wiki/Schnuerle_porting" title="Schnuerle porting">Schnurle Reverse Flow</a> system. DKW licensed this design for all their motorcycles.

The battery also supplies electrical power during rare run conditions where the alternator cannot maintain more than 13.8 volts (for a common 12 V automotive electrical system). As alternator voltage falls below 13.8 volts, the lead-acid storage battery increasingly picks up electrical load. During virtually all running conditions, including normal idle conditions, the alternator supplies primary electrical power. </p><p>Some systems disable alternator field (rotor) power during wide-open throttle conditions. Disabling the field reduces alternator pulley mechanical loading to nearly zero, maximizing crankshaft power. In this case, the battery supplies all primary electrical power. </p><p>Gasoline engines take in a mixture of air and gasoline and compress it by the movement of the piston from bottom dead center to top dead center when the fuel is at maximum compression. The reduction in the size of the swept area of the cylinder and taking into account the volume of the combustion chamber is described by a ratio. Early engines had <a href="/wiki/Compression_ratio" title="Compression ratio">compression ratios</a> of 6 to 1. As compression ratios were increased, the efficiency of the engine increased as well. </p><p>With early induction and ignition systems the compression ratios had to be kept low. With advances in fuel technology and combustion management, high-performance engines can run reliably at 12:1 ratio. With low octane fuel, a problem would occur as the compression ratio increased as the fuel was igniting due to the rise in temperature that resulted. <a href="/wiki/Charles_Kettering" class="mw-redirect" title="Charles Kettering">Charles Kettering</a> developed a <a href="/wiki/Tetraethyllead" title="Tetraethyllead">lead additive</a> which allowed higher compression ratios, which was progressively <a href="/wiki/Gasoline#Additives" title="Gasoline">abandoned for automotive use</a> from the 1970s onward, partly due to <a href="/wiki/Lead_poisoning" title="Lead poisoning">lead poisoning</a> concerns. </p><p>The fuel mixture is ignited at different progressions of the piston in the cylinder. At low rpm, the spark is timed to occur close to the piston achieving top dead center. In order to produce more power, as rpm rises the spark is advanced sooner during piston movement.

For years, the solution was to park the car in heated areas. In some parts of the world, the oil was actually drained and heated overnight and returned to the engine for cold starts. In the early 1950s, the gasoline Gasifier unit was developed, where, on cold weather starts, raw gasoline was diverted to the unit where part of the fuel was burned causing the other part to become a hot vapor sent directly to the intake valve manifold. This unit was quite popular until electric <a href="/wiki/Engine_block_heater" class="mw-redirect" title="Engine block heater">engine block heaters</a> became standard on gasoline engines sold in cold climates.<sup id="cite_ref-41" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Compression_ignition_process">Compression ignition process</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Internal_combustion_engine&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Compression ignition process"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Diesel_engine" title="Diesel engine">Diesel engine</a></div> <p>For ignition, diesel, <a href="/wiki/Partially_premixed_combustion" title="Partially premixed combustion">PPC</a> and <a href="/wiki/Homogeneous_charge_compression_ignition" title="Homogeneous charge compression ignition">HCCI</a> engines rely solely on the high temperature and pressure created by the engine in its compression process. The compression level that occurs is usually twice or more than a gasoline engine. Diesel engines take in air only, and shortly before peak compression, spray a small quantity of diesel fuel into the cylinder via a fuel injector that allows the fuel to instantly ignite. HCCI type engines take in both air and fuel, but continue to rely on an unaided auto-combustion process, due to higher pressures and temperature. This is also why diesel and HCCI engines are more susceptible to cold-starting issues, although they run just as well in cold weather once started.

The valve train may be contained in a compartment flooded with lubricant so that no <a href="/wiki/Oil_pump_(internal_combustion_engine)" title="Oil pump (internal combustion engine)">oil pump</a> is required. </p><p>In a <i>splash lubrication system</i> no oil pump is used. Instead the crankshaft dips into the oil in the sump and due to its high speed, it splashes the crankshaft, connecting rods and bottom of the pistons. The connecting rod big end caps may have an attached scoop to enhance this effect. The valve train may also be sealed in a flooded compartment, or open to the crankshaft in a way that it receives splashed oil and allows it to drain back to the sump. Splash lubrication is common for small 4-stroke engines. </p><p>In a <i>forced</i> (also called <i>pressurized</i>) <i>lubrication system</i>, lubrication is accomplished in a closed-loop which carries <a href="/wiki/Motor_oil" title="Motor oil">motor oil</a> to the surfaces serviced by the system and then returns the oil to a reservoir. The auxiliary equipment of an engine is typically not serviced by this loop; for instance, an <a href="/wiki/Alternator_(automotive)" title="Alternator (automotive)">alternator</a> may use <a href="/wiki/Ball_bearing" title="Ball bearing">ball bearings</a> sealed with their own lubricant. The reservoir for the oil is usually the sump, and when this is the case, it is called a <i><a href="/wiki/Wet_sump" title="Wet sump">wet sump</a></i> system. When there is a different oil reservoir the crankcase still catches it, but it is continuously drained by a dedicated pump; this is called a <i><a href="/wiki/Dry_sump" title="Dry sump">dry sump</a></i> system. </p><p>On its bottom, the sump contains an oil intake covered by a mesh filter which is connected to an oil pump then to an <a href="/wiki/Oil_filter" title="Oil filter">oil filter</a> outside the crankcase. From there it is diverted to the crankshaft main bearings and valve train. The crankcase contains at least one <i>oil gallery</i> (a conduit inside a crankcase wall) to which oil is introduced from the oil filter. The main bearings contain a groove through all or half its circumference; the oil enters these grooves from channels connected to the oil gallery. The crankshaft has drillings that take oil from these grooves and deliver it to the big end bearings. All big end bearings are lubricated this way. A single main bearing may provide oil for 0, 1 or 2 big end bearings. A similar system may be used to lubricate the piston, its gudgeon pin and the small end of its connecting rod; in this system, the connecting rod big end has a groove around the crankshaft and a drilling connected to the groove which distributes oil from there to the bottom of the piston and from then to the cylinder. </p><p>Other systems are also used to lubricate the cylinder and piston. The connecting rod may have a nozzle to throw an oil jet to the cylinder and bottom of the piston. That nozzle is in movement relative to the cylinder it lubricates, but always pointed towards it or the corresponding piston. </p><p>Typically forced lubrication systems have a lubricant flow higher than what is required to lubricate satisfactorily, in order to assist with cooling. Specifically, the lubricant system helps to move heat from the hot engine parts to the cooling liquid (in water-cooled engines) or fins (in air-cooled engines) which then transfer it to the environment. The lubricant must be designed to be chemically stable and maintain suitable viscosities within the temperature range it encounters in the engine. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cylinder_configuration">Cylinder configuration</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Internal_combustion_engine&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Cylinder configuration"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Common cylinder configurations include the <a href="/wiki/Straight_engine" title="Straight engine">straight or inline configuration</a>, the more compact <a href="/wiki/V_engine" title="V engine">V configuration</a>, and the wider but smoother <a href="/wiki/Flat_engine" title="Flat engine">flat or boxer configuration</a>. <a href="/wiki/Aircraft_engine" title="Aircraft engine">Aircraft engines</a> can also adopt a <a href="/wiki/Radial_engine" title="Radial engine">radial configuration</a>, which allows more effective cooling.

The piston can then proceed to the next phase of its cycle, which varies between engines. Any thermal energy that is not translated into work is normally considered a waste product and is removed from the engine either by an air or liquid cooling system. </p><p>Internal combustion engines are considered <a href="/wiki/Heat_engine" title="Heat engine">heat engines</a> (since the release of chemical energy in combustion has the same effect as <a href="/wiki/Heat" title="Heat">heat</a> transfer into the engine) and as such their theoretical efficiency can be approximated by idealized <a href="/wiki/Thermodynamic_cycle" title="Thermodynamic cycle">thermodynamic cycles</a>. The thermal efficiency of a theoretical cycle cannot exceed that of the <a href="/wiki/Carnot_cycle" title="Carnot cycle">Carnot cycle</a>, whose efficiency is determined by the difference between the lower and upper <a href="/wiki/Operating_temperature" title="Operating temperature">operating temperatures</a> of the engine. The upper operating temperature of an engine is limited by two main factors; the thermal operating limits of the materials, and the auto-ignition resistance of the fuel. All <a href="/wiki/Metal" title="Metal">metals</a> and <a href="/wiki/Alloy" title="Alloy">alloys</a> have a thermal operating limit, and there is significant research into <a href="/wiki/Ceramic" title="Ceramic">ceramic</a> materials that can be made with greater thermal stability and desirable structural properties. Higher thermal stability allows for a greater temperature difference between the lower (ambient) and upper operating temperatures, hence greater thermodynamic efficiency. Also, as the cylinder temperature rises, the fuel becomes more prone to auto-ignition. This is caused when the cylinder temperature nears the flash point of the charge. At this point, ignition can spontaneously occur before the spark plug fires, causing excessive cylinder pressures. Auto-ignition can be mitigated by using fuels with high auto-ignition resistance (<a href="/wiki/Octane_rating" title="Octane rating">octane rating</a>), however it still puts an upper bound on the allowable peak cylinder temperature. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Thermodynamic_limit" title="Thermodynamic limit">thermodynamic limits</a> assume that the engine is operating under ideal conditions: a frictionless world, ideal gases, perfect insulators, and operation for infinite time. Real world applications introduce complexities that reduce efficiency. For example, a real engine runs best at a specific load, termed its <a href="/wiki/Power_band" title="Power band">power band</a>. The engine in a car cruising on a highway is usually operating significantly below its ideal load, because it is designed for the higher loads required for rapid acceleration.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
