FOUR-STROKE CYCLE ENGINES

FOUR STROKE PETROL ENGINE

The four stroke-cycles refers to its use in petrol engines, gas engines, light, oil engine and heavy oil engines in
which the mixture of air fuel are drawn in the engine cylinder. Since ignition in these engines is due to a spark,
therefore they are also called spark ignition engines.

SUCTION STROKE: In this Stroke the inlet valve opens and proportionate fuel-air mixture is sucked in the engine
cylinder. Thus the piston moves from top dead centre (T.D.C.) to bottom dead centre (B.D.C.). The exhaust valve
remains closed through out the stroke.

COMPRESSION STROKE: In this stroke both the inlet and exhaust valves remain closed during the stroke. The
piston moves towards (T.D.C.) and compresses the enclosed fuel-air mixture drawn. Just before the end of this
stroke the operating plug initiates a spark which ignites the mixture and combustion takes place at constant
pressure.

POWER STROKE OR EXPANSION STROKE: In this stroke both the valves remain closed during the start of this
stroke but when the piston just reaches the B.D.C. the exhaust valve opens. When the mixture is ignited by the
spark plug the hot gases are produced which drive or throw the piston from T.D.C. to B.D.C. and thus the work is
obtained in this stroke.

EXHAUST STROKE: This is the last stroke of the cycle. Here the gases from which the work has been collected
become useless a er the completion of the expansion stroke and are made to escape through exhaust valve to the
atmosphere. This removal of gas is accomplished during this stroke. The piston moves from B.D.C. to T.D.C. and
the exhaust gases are driven out of the engine cylinder; this is also called SCAVENGING.

SUCTION STROKE: With the movement of the piston from T.D.C. to B.D.C. during this stroke, the inlet valve opens
and the air at atmospheric pressure is drawn inside the engine cylinder; the exhaust valve however remains
closed. This operation is represented by the line 5-1

COMPRESSION STROKE: The air drawn at atmospheric pressure during the suction stroke is compressed to high
pressure and temperature as the piston moves from B.D.C. to T.D.C. Both the inlet and exhaust valves do not open
during any part of this stroke. This operation is represented by 1-2

POWER STROKE OR EXPANSION STROKE: As the piston starts moving from T.D.C to B.D.C, the quantity of fuel is
injected into the hot compressed air in fine sprays by the fuel injector and it (fuel) starts burning at constant
pressure shown by the line 2-3.

At the point 3 fuel supply is cut o . The fuel is injected at the end of compression stroke but in actual practice the
ignition of the fuel starts before the end of the compression stroke. The hot gases of the cylinder expand
adiabatically to point 4. Thus doing work on the piston.

EXHAUST STROKE: The piston moves from the B.D.C. to T.D.C. and the exhaust gases escape to the atmosphere
through the exhaust valve. When the piston reaches the T.D.C. the exhaust valve closes and the cycle is completed.
This stroke is represented by the line 1-5.
