12.2 Theory:

12.2.1 2-Stroke Diesel Engine:

A two-stroke diesel engine is an internal
combustion engine that uses compression ignition, with a two-stroke combustion cycle. It
was invented by Hugo Guldner in 1899.In compression ignition, air is first compressed and
heated; fuel is then injected into the cylinder, causing it to self-ignite. The two stroke cycle
ignites the fuel to deliver a power stroke each time the piston rises and falls in the cylinder,
without any need for the additional exhaust and induction strokes of the four-stroke cycle.
Two-stroke Diesel engine is most commonly seen in applications demanding a large power
output, such as ships and electric generation plants. Two-stroke Diesel engine is most
