ENGINE:
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 combustion 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.

A two-stroke engine is an internal combustion engine that completes the process cycle in one
revolution of the crankshaft (an up stroke and a down stroke of the piston, compared to twice that
number for a four-stroke engine). This is accomplished by using the end of the combustion
stroke and the beginning of the compression stroke to perform simultaneously the intake and
exhaust (or scavenging) functions. In this way, two-stroke engines often provide high specific
power, at least in a narrow range of rotational speeds. The functions of some or all of the valves
required by a four-stroke engine are usually served in a two-stroke engine by ports that are
opened and closed by the motion of the piston(s), greatly reducing the number of moving parts.
Intake
The fuel/air mixture is first drawn into the crankcase by the vacuum that is created during the
upward stroke of the piston. The illustrated engine features a poppet intake valve; however,
During the downward stroke, the poppet valve is forced closed by the increased crankcase
pressure. The fuel mixture is then compressed in the crankcase during the remainder of the
stroke.
INTAKE stroke: on the intake or induction stroke of the piston, the piston descends from the
top of the cylinder to the bottom of the cylinder, reducing the pressure inside the cylinder. A
mixture of fuel and air, or just air in a diesel engine, is forced by atmospheric (or greater)
pressure into the cylinder through the intake port. The intake valve(s) then close. The volume of
air/fuel mixture that is drawn into the cylinder, relative to the volume of the cylinder is called,
the volumetric efficiency of the engine.
COMPRESSION stroke: with both intake and exhaust valves closed, the piston returns to the
top of the cylinder compressing the air, or fuel-air mixture into the combustion chamber of the
cylinder head.
POWER stroke: this is the start of the second revolution of the engine. While the piston is close
to Top Dead Center, the compressed air–fuel mixture in a gasoline engine is ignited, usually by a
spark plug, or fuel is injected into the diesel engine, which ignites due to the heat generated in
the air during the compression stroke. The resulting massive pressure from the combustion of the
compressed fuel-air mixture forces the piston back down toward bottom dead centre.
EXHAUST stroke: during the exhaust stroke, the piston once again returns to top dead center
while the exhaust valve is open. This action evacuates the burnt products of combustion from the
cylinder by expelling the spent fuel-air mixture out through the exhaust valve(s).
