`Introduction
`
`This chapter introduces and defines the internal combustion engine. It lists ways of
`classifying engines and terminology used in engine technology. Descriptions are
`given of many common engine components and of basic four-stroke and two-stroke
`cycles for both spark ignition and compression ignition engines.
`
`1-1 INTRODUCTION
`
`The internal combustion engine (IC) is a heat engine that converts chemical energy
`in a fuel into mechanical energy, usually made available on a rotating output shaft.
`Chemical energy of the fuel is first converted to thermal energy by means of com(cid:173)
`bustion or oxidation with air inside the engine. This thermal energy raises the
`temperature and pressure of the gases within the engine, and the high-pressure gas
`then expands against the mechanical mechanisms of the engine. This expansion is
`converted by the mechanical linkages of the engine to a rotating crankshaft, which is
`the output of the engine. The crankshaft, in turn, is connected to a transmission
`and/or power train to transmit the rotating mechanical energy to the desired final
`use. For engines this will often be the propulsion of a vehicle (i.e., automobile, truck,
`locomotive, marine vessel, or airplane). Other applications include stationary

`
`engines to drive generators or pumps, and portable engines for things like chain
`saws and lawn mowers.
`Most internal combustion engines are reciprocating engines having pistons
`that reciprocate back and forth in cylinders internally within the engine. This book
`concentrates on the thermodynamic study of this type of engine. Other types of IC
`engines also exist in much fewer numbers, one important one being the rotary
`engine [104]. These engines will be given brief coverage. Engine types not covered
`by this book include steam engines and gas turbine engines, which are better classi(cid:173)
`fied as external combustion engines (i.e., combustion takes place outside the
`mechanical engine system). Also not included in this book, but which could be clas(cid:173)
`sified as internal combustion engines, are rocket engines, jet engines, and firearms.
`Reciprocating engines can have one cylinder or many, up to 20 or more. The
`cylinders can be arranged in many different geometric configurations. Sizes range
`from small model airplane engines with power output on the order of 100 watts to
`large multicylinder stationary engines that produce thousands of kilowatts per
`cylinder.
`There are so many different engine manufacturers, past, present, and future,
`that produce and have produced engines which differ in size, geometry, style, and
`operating characteristics that no absolute limit can be stated for any range of engine
`characteristics (i.e., size, number of cylinders, strokes in a cycle, etc.). This book will
`work within normal characteristic ranges of engine geometries and operating para(cid:173)
`meters, but there can always be exceptions to these.
`Early development of modern internal combustion engines occurred in the lat(cid:173)
`ter half of the 1800s and coincided with the development of the automobile. History
`records earlier examples of crude internal combustion engines and self-propelled
`road vehicles dating back as far as the 1600s [29]. Most of these early vehicles were
`steam-driven prototypes which never became practical operating vehicles. Technol(cid:173)
`ogy, roads, materials, and fuels were not yet developed enough. Very early examples
`of heat engines, including both internal combustion and external combustion, used
`gun powder and other solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels. Major development of the
`modern steam engine and, consequently, the railroad locomotive occurred in the lat(cid:173)
`ter half of the 1700s and early 1800s. By the 1820s and 1830s, railroads were present
`in several countries around the world.
`
`HISTORIC-ATMOSPHERIC ENGINES
`
`Most of the very earliest internal combustion engines of the 17th
`and 18th centuries can be classified as atmospheric engines. These were
`large engines with a single piston and cylinder, the cylinder being open
`on the end. Combustion was initiated in the open cylinder using any of the
`various fuels which were available. Gunpowder was often used as the
`fuel. Immediately after combustion, the cylinder would be full of hot
`exhaust gas at atmospheric pressure. At this time, the cylinder end was
`closed and the trapped gas was allowed to cool. As the gas cooled, it ere-

`
`ated a vacuum within the cylinder. This caused a pressure differential
`across the piston, atmospheric pressure on one side and a vacuum on the
`other. As the piston moved because of this pressure differential, it would
`do work by being connected to an external system, such as raising a
`weight [29].
`Some early steam engines also were atmospheric engines. Instead
`of combustion, the open cylinder was filled with hot steam. The end was
`then closed and the steam was allowed to cool and condense. This cre(cid:173)
`ated the necessary vacuum.
`
`In addition to a great amount of experimentation and development in Europe
`and the United States during the middle and latter half of the 1800s, two other tech(cid:173)
`nological occurrences during this time stimulated the emergence of the internal
`combustion engine. In 1859, the discovery of crude oil in Pennsylvania finally made
`available the development of reliable fuels which could be used in these newly
`developed engines. Up to this time, the lack of good, consistent fuels was a major
`drawback in engine development. Fuels like whale oil, coal gas, mineral oils, coal,
`and gun powder which were available before this time were less than ideal for
`engine use and development. It still took many years before products of the petro(cid:173)
`leum industry evolved from the _first crude oil to gasoline, the automobile fuel of the
`20th century. However, improved hydrocarbon products began to appear as early

`evolved together.
`The second technological invention that stimulated the development of the
`internal combustion engine was the pneumatic rubber tire, which was first marketed
`by John B. Dunlop in 1888 [141]. This invention made the automobile much more
`practical and desirable and thus generated a large market for propulsion systems,
`including the internal combustion engine.
`During the early years of the automobile, the internal combustion engine com(cid:173)
`peted with electricity and steam engines as the basic means of propulsion. Early in
`the 20th century1 electricity and steam faded from the automobile picture-electricity
`because of the limited range it provided, and steam because of the long start-up time
`needed. Thus, the 20t~ century is the period of the internal combustion engine and

`
`the automobile powered by the internal combustion engine. Now, at the end of the
`century, the internal combustion engine is again being challenged by electricity and
`other forms of propulsion systems for automobiles and other applications. What
`goes around comes around.
`
`1-2 EARLY HISTORY
`
`During the second half of the 19th century, many different styles of internal com(cid:173)
`bustion engines were built and tested. Reference [29] is suggested as a good history
`of this period. These engines operated with variable success and dependability using
`many different mechanical systems and engine cycles.
`The first fairly practical engine was invented by J.J.E. Lenoir (1822-1900) and
`appeared on the scene about 1860 (Fig. 3-19). During the next decade, several hun(cid:173)
`dred of these engines were built with power up to about 4.5 kW (6 hp) and
`mechanical efficiency up to 5%. The Lenoir engine cycle is described in Section
`3-13. In 1867 the Otto-Langen engine, with efficiency improved to about 11%, was
`first introduced, and several thousand of these were produced during the next
`decade. This was a type of atmospheric engine with the power stroke propelled by
`atmospheric pressure acting against a vacuum. Nicolaus A. Otto (1832-1891) and
`Eugen Langen (1833-1895) were two of many engine inventors of this period.
`During this time, engines operating on the same basic four-stroke cycle as the
`modern automobile engine began to evolve as the best design. Although many peo(cid:173)
`ple were working on four-stroke cycle design, Otto was given credit when his
`prototype engine was built in 1876.
`In the 1880s the internal combustion engine first appeared in automobiles [ 45].
`Also in this decade the two-stroke cycle engine became practical and was manufac(cid:173)
`tured in large numbers.
`By 1892, Rudolf Diesel (1858-1913) had perfected his compression ignition
`engine into basically the same diesel engine known today. This was after years of
`development work which included the use of solid fuel in his early experimental
`engines. Early compression ignition engines were noisy, large, slow, single-cylinder
`engines. They were, however, generally more efficient than spark ignition engines. It
`wasn't until the 1920s that multicylinder compression ignition engines were made
`small enough to be used with automobiles and trucks.
`
`1-3 ENGINE CLASSIFICATIONS
`
`Internal combustion engines can be classified in a number of different ways:
`
`1. Types of Ignition
`(a) Spark Ignition (SI). An SI engine starts the combustion process in each
`cycle by use of a spark plug. The spark plug gives a high-voltage electrical

`
`discharge between two electrodes which ignites the air-fuel mixture in the
`combustion chamber surrounding the plug. In early engine development,
`before the invention of the electric spark plug, many forms of torch holes
`were used to initiate combustion from an external flame.
`(b) Compression Ignition (CI). The combustion process in a CI engine starts
`when the air-fuel mixture self-ignites due to high temperature in the com(cid:173)
`bustion chamber caused by high compression.
`2. Engine Cycle
`(a) Four-Stroke Cycle. A four-stroke cycle experiences four piston move(cid:173)
`ments over two engine_revolutions for each cycle.
`(b) Two-Stroke Cycle. A two-stroke cycle has two piston movements over one
`revolution for each cycle.

`Introduction
`
`Chap.1
`
`HISTORIC-STARTERS
`
`Early automobile engines were started with hand cranks that
`connected with the crankshaft of the engine. This was a difficult and dan(cid:173)
`gerous process, sometimes resulting in broken fingers and arms when the
`engine would fire and snaj)'back the hand crank. The first electric starters
`appeared on the 1912 Cadillac automobiles, invented by C. Kettering, who
`was motivated when his friend was killed in the process of hand starting
`an automobile [45].
`
`Supercharger Mechanical compressor powered off of the crankshaft, used to com(cid:173)
`press incoming air of the engine.
`
`Throttle Butterfly valve mounted at the upstream end of the intake system, used
`to control the amount of air flow into an SI engine. Some small engines and
`stationary constant-speed engines have no throttle.
`
`Turbocharger Turbine-compressor used to compress incoming air into the engine.
`The turbine is powered by the exhaust flow of the engine and thus takes very
`little useful work from the engine.
`
`Valves Used to allow flow into and out of the cylinder at the proper t:hne in the
`cycle. Most engines use poppet valves, which are '!;pring loaded closed and
`pushed open by camshaft action (Fig. 1-12). Valves are mostly made of forged
`steel. Surfaces against which valves close are called valve seats and are made of
`hardened steel or ceramic. Rotary valves and sleeve valves are sometimes used,
`but are much less common. Many two-stroke cycle engines have ports (slots) in
`the side of the cylinder walls instead of mechanical valves.
`
`Water jacket System of liquid flow passages surrounding the cylinders, usually
`constructed as part of the engine block and head. Engine coolant flows
`through the water jacket and keeps the cylinder walls from overheating. The
`coolant is usually a water-ethylene glycol mixture.
`
`Water pump Pump used to circulate engine coolant through the engine and radia(cid:173)
`tor. It is usually mechanically run off of the engine.
`
`Wrist pin Pin fastening the connecting rod to the piston (also called the piston pin).
`
`1-6 BASIC ENGINE CYCLES
`
`Most internal combustion engines, both spark ignition and compression ignition,
`operate on either a four-stroke cycle or a two-stroke cycle. These basic cycles are
`fairly standard for all engines, with only slight variations found in individual designs.

`
`Four-Stroke Sl Engine Cycle {Fig. 1-16)
`
`1. First Stroke: Intake Stroke or Induction The piston travels from TDC to
`BDC with the intake valve open and exhaust valve closed. This creates an increasing
`volume in the combustion chamber, which in turn creates a vacuum. The resulting
`pressure differential through the intake system from atmospheric pressure on the
`outside to the vacuum on the inside causes air to be pushed into the cylinder. As the
`air passes through the intake system, fuel is added to it in the desired amount by
`means of fuel injectors or a carburetor.
`2. Second Stroke: Compression Stroke When the piston reaches BDC, the
`intake valve closes and the piston travels back to TDC with all valves closed. This
`compresses the air-fuel mixture, raising both the pressure and temperature in the
`cylinder. The finite time required to close the intake valve means that actual com(cid:173)
`pression doesn't start until sometime aBDC. Near the end of the compression
`stroke, the spark plug is fired and combustion is initiated.
`3. Combustion Combustion of the air-fuel mixture occurs in a very short but
`finite length of time with the piston near TDC (i.e., nearly constant-volume com(cid:173)
`bustion). It starts near the end of the compression stroke slightly bTDC and lasts
`into the power stroke slightly aTDC. Combustion changes the composition of the
`gas mixture to that of exhaust products and increases the temperature in the cylin(cid:173)
`der to a very high peak value. This, in turn, raises the pressure in the cylinder to a
`very high peak value.
`4. Third Stroke: Expansion Stroke or Power Stroke With all valves closed,
`the high pressure created by the combustion process pushes the piston away from
`TDC. This is the stroke which produces the work output of the engine cycle. As the
`piston travels from TDC to BDC, cylinder volume is increased, causing pressure and
`temperature to drop.
`5. Exhaust Blowdown Late in the power stroke, the exhaust valve is opened
`and exhaust blowdown occurs. Pressure and temperature in the cylinder are still
`high relative to the surroundings at this point, and a pressure differential is created
`through the exhaust system which is open to atmospheric pressure. This pressure
`differential causes much of the hot exhaust gas to be pushed out of the cylinder and
`through the exhaust system when the piston is near BDC. This exhaust gas carries
`away a high amount of enthalpy, which lowers the cycle thermal efficiency. Opening
`the exhaust valve before BDC reduces the work obtained during the power stroke
`but is required because of the finite time needed for exhaust blowdown.
`6. Fourth Stroke: Exhaust Stroke By the time the piston reaches BDC,
`exhaust blowdown is complete, but the cylinder is still full of exhaust gases at
`approximately atmospheric pressure. With the exhaust valve remaining open, the
`piston now travels from BDC to IDC in the exhaust stroke. This pushes most of the
`remaining exhaust gases out of the cylinder into the exhaust system at about atmos(cid:173)
`pheric pressure, leaving only that trapped in the clearance volume-when the piston
`reaches TDC. Near the end of the exhaust stroke bTDC, the intake valve starts to

`open, so that it is fully open by TDC when the new intake stroke s~ the next
`cycle. Near TDC the exhaust valve starts to close and finally is fully closed sometime
`aTDC. This period when both the intake valve and exhaust valve are open is called
`valve overlap.

`
`Four-Stroke Cl Engine Cycle
`
`1. First Stroke: Intake Stroke The same as the intake stroke in an SI engine
`with one major difference: no fuel is added to the incoming air.
`2. Second Stroke: Compression Stroke The same as in an SI engine except
`that only air is compressed and compression is to higher pressures and temperature.
`Late in the compression stroke fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber,
`where it mixes with the very hot air. This causes the fuel to evaporate and self-ignite,
`causing combustion to start.
`3. Combustion Combustion is fully developed by TDC and continues at
`about constant pressure until fuel injection is complete and the piston has started
`towards BDC.
`4. Third Stroke: Power Stroke The power stroke continues as combustion
`ends and the piston travels towards BDC.
`5. Exhaust Blowdown Same as with anSI engine.
`6. Fourth Stroke: Exhaust Stroke Same as with an Sl engine.
`
`Two-Stroke Sl Engine Cycle (fig. 1-17)
`
`1. Combustion With the piston at TDC combustion occurs very quickly, rais(cid:173)
`ing the temperature and pressure to peak values, almost at constant volume.
`2. First Stroke: Expansion Stroke or Power Stroke Very high pressure cre(cid:173)
`ated by the combustion process forces the piston down in the power stroke. The
`expanding volume of the combustion chamber causes pressure and temperature to
`decrease as the piston travels towards BDC.
`3. Exhaust Blowdown At about 75° bBDC, the exhaust valve opens and
`blowdown occurs. The exhaust valve may be a poppet valve in the cylinder head, or
`it may be a slot in the side of the cylinder which is uncovered as the piston
`approaches BDC. After blowdown the cylinder remains filled with exhaust gas at
`lower pressure.
`4. Intake and Scavenging When blowdown is nearly complete, at about 50°
`bBDC, the intake slot on the side of the cylinder is uncovered and intake air-fuel
`enters under pressure. Fuel is added to the air with either a carburetor or fuel injec(cid:173)
`tion. This incoming mixture pushes much of the remaining exhaust gases out the
`open exhaust valve and fills the cylinder with a combustible air-fuel mixture, a
`process called scavenging. The piston passes BDC and very quickly covers the
`intake port and then the exhaust port (or the exhanst valve closes). The higher pres-

`bustion chamber containing no intake, ignition, or special swirl. When combustion
`occurs in the main chamber, high-pressure gases are forced through the very small
`orifice into the secondary chamber. When the pressure in the main chamber falls
`during the power stroke, these high-pressure gases flow slowly back into the main
`chamber, slightly increasing the pressure pushing on the piston face and producing
`more work. Depending on the design, these backflowing gases may contain a com(cid:173)
`bustible mixture and extend combustion time (and, consequently, work output).
`Many combinations and variations of divided chambers and/or stratified
`charge engines have been tried, and a number of these exist in modern automobiles.
`
`7-3 ENGINE OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
`
`Power Operation
`
`For maximum power at WOT (fast startup, accelerating up a hill, an airplane taking
`off), fuel injectors and carburetors are adjusted to give a rich mixture, and ignition
`systems are set with retarded spark (spark later in cycle). This gives maximum
`power at a sacrifice of fuel economy. The rich mixture burns faster and allows the
`pressure peak to be more concentrated near TDC, with the probable compromise of
`rougher operation. At high engine speeds, there is less time for heat transfer to
`occur from the cylinders, and exhaust gases and exhaust valves will be hotter. To
`maximize flame speed at WOT, no exhaust gas is recycled, resulting in higher levels
`ofNOx.
`Interestingly, another way of obtaining added power from an engine is to oper(cid:173)
`ate with a lean mixture. Race cars are sometimes operated this way. In a lean
`mixture, flame speed is slow and combustion lasts well past TDC. This keeps the
`pressure high well into the power stroke, which produces a greater power output.
`This way of operation produces very hot exhaust gases due to the late combustion.
`This hot exhaust, combined with the unused oxygen of the lean mixture, oxidizes
`the exhaust valves and seats very quickly. This requires changing of the exhaust
`valves quite often, something unacceptable except maybe for race cars. Ignition

`timing must be set specially for this kind of operation.
`
`Cruising Operation
`
`For cruising operation such as steady freeway driving or long-distance airplane
`travel, less power is needed and brake-specific fuel consumption becomes impor(cid:173)
`tant. For this type of operation a lean mixture is supplied to the engine, high EGR is
`used, and ignition timing is advanced to compensate for the resulting slower flame
`speed. Fuel usage efficiency (miles/liter) will be high, but thermal efficiency of the

`
`engine will be lower. This is because the engine will be operating at a lower speed,
`which gives more time per cycle for heat losses from the combustion chamber.
`
`Idle and low Engine Speed
`
`At very low engine speeds the throttle will be almost closed, resulting in a high
`vacuum in the intake manifold. This high vacuum and low engine speed generate a
`large exhaust residual during valve overlap. This creates poor combustion, which
`must be compensated for by supplying a rich mixture to the engine. The rich mixture
`and poor combustion contribute to high exhaust emissions of HC and CO. Misfires
`and cycles where only partial combustion occurs in some cylinders are more com(cid:173)
`mon at idle speeds. A 2% misfire rate would cause exhaust emissions to exceed
`acceptable standards by 100-200%.
`
`Closing Throttle at High Engine Speed
`
`When quick deceleration is desired and the throttle is closed at high engine speed, a
`very large vacuum is created in the intake system. High engine speed wants a large
`inflow of air, but the closed throttle allows very little air flow. The result is a high
`intake vacuum, high exhaust residual, a rich mixture, and poor combustion. Misfires
`and high exhaust emissions are very common with this kind of operation.
`Engines with carburetors give especially poor combustion under these condi(cid:173)
`tions. Due to the high vacuum, the carburetor gives a large fuel flow through both
`the normal orifice and the idle valve. This, combined with the restricted air flow
`rate, creates an overrich mixture with poor combustion and high exhaust pollution
`of HC and CO. The controls on engines with fuel injectors shut the fuel flow down
`under these conditions, and this results in much smoother operation.
`
`Starting a Cold Engine
`
`When a cold engine is started, an overrich supply of fuel must be supplied to assure
`enough fuel vapor to create a combustible gas mixture. When the walls of the intake
`system and cylinders are cold, a much smaller percentage of the fuel will vaporize
`than in normal steady-state operation. The fuel is also cold and does not flow as
`readily. The engine turns very slowly, being driven only by the starting motor, and a
`greater amount of the compressive heating dur
