Cycle of Events
• Intake Stroke – Fuel and air or air alone is
sucked into the combustion chamber as
the piston moves in a downward direction.
• Compression Stroke – Fuel and air or air
alone is compressed by the piston as it
moves in upward direction.
• Power Stroke – Fuel and air is ignited to
produce power at the downward movement
of the piston and transmits the power to the
crankshaft of the engine.
• Exhaust Stroke – Fuel is burned and gas
is discharged from the combustion
chamber.

Firing Order
• It is the sequence of movement of the piston as it produces power.
• It is an order in which the engine cylinders deliver the power
strokes at best engine performance. It is also related to engine
balancing.

The first piston can be found near the flywheel while the last is
located near the cooling fan or radiator.
Running Mates
● Running mates are pistons that go up and down together in exactly
the same position but of different function. One of them is performing
compression or power stroke, and the other is on the intake or exhaust
stroke.
● To find the running mate, simply take the firing order and split it in
half. If firing order is 153624, for example, split it into half (153-624)
then put the second number under the first to get the running mates.
Hence, 1/6, 5/2, and 3/4.

Fuel Injection
Turbo Chargers
15
Super Charger
• Its function is the same with turbo charger except that they are
engine driven rather than exhaust-gas driven.
• Super charger is used in spark ignition (gasoline engines) since the
power from exhaust gases is low as a result of low compression
ratio.
Inter Cooler
• When the inlet gases get compressed by the engine compressor, the
temperature of the gases increases which results in its expansion at
the inlet manifold of the engine and reduce the volumetric efficiency
of the engine.
• To avoid this, an inter cooler is used to cool the gases coming out of
the compressor which then reduces the volume of the inlet gases
and increases the volumetric efficiency of the engine.

ENGINE PERFORMANCE CURVE
• It is a graphical representation showing the abilities of rotating
equipment, like engine, at various operating conditions.
• It gives the characteristics of an engine in terms of power, fuel
consumption, and torque for a given operating speed .
22
• High speed engines are not as suitable with low
speed engines.
• In some cases such as charcoal gasifier engine
system, it is advisable to advance the ignition of
the engine to 15 to 30 deg before top dead
center.
• The choice of the proper engine oil is important
but no close opinion exist which oil is most
suitable. One can expect to have engine oil
changed as twice as often for an engine fueled
with gasifer.
• In case of gasifier, it is advantageous to use
slow speed engines with a high internal inertia.
• Engine with cast iron sleeves are more suitable
since the sleeve when scratched ca be replaced
easily.
23
• Biogas can be used in both spark ignition and compression ignition
engines. The exact amount needed depends upon the methane
content of the biogas. Approximate substitution is: (a) 1.3 -
1.9m3 biogas per liter of petrol/gasoline, or (b) 1.5 - 2.1m3 biogas per
liter of diesel.
• ICE will run hotter in biogas than with a liquid fuel which requires an
efficient cooling system minimize engine wear problems.
• Biogas will not self-ignite in a diesel engine. Therefore, it is
necessary to use a little diesel (approximately 20 per cent) to ignite
the fuel.
• In compression ignition engine, biogas enters the engine via the air
inlet system, after the air filter. This needs therefore a small
modification to the air intake system of the engine. Around 0.6-
0.7m3 of biogas/kWh.
•
24
This is enhanced by frequent starts, short running times and the
relatively low temperatures when starting up and after cutting off the
engine. The water cooling system also provides the means (water
needed to form sulphuric acid) for corrosion. Running engines with
gas containing H2S can reduce the service time to the first general
overhaul by about 10 - 15%. The sulphur content of biogas used in
gas engines shortens the time between oil changes and overhauls.
SO2 from combustion and water vapor both dissolve in the
lubricating oil. The oil becomes acidic, and its properties change,
losing its ability to lubricate and sometimes corroding metal
components. Under continuous operating conditions, the interval
between oil changes is reduced to 200 - 250 hours.

BIOETHANOL AS FUEL FOR ICE
• Benefits of blending ethanol in fuel are: (a) reduce knocking and pinging,
(b) improve gas mileage, (c) better acceleration, and (d) Improve starting
qualities.
• So far E10 (10% bioethanol and 90% gasoline) is given with warranty by
all domestic car users worldwide.
• Ethanol is a good cleaning agent. It helps keep newer engine clean. For
old engines, it sometimes loosen contaminants and residues which blocks
fuel delivery systems. Alcohol is a strong cleaning agent and has the
ability to degrade certain engine parts such as rubber, plastics, and even
metals over time.
• Ethanol also has the ability absorbs water which eliminate the need for a
gas-line antifreeze.
• Valve burning is decrease when using ethanol since it burns cooler than
ordinary unleaded gasoline. That is why many racing engines uses
ethanol as fuel.
• E5 and below do not require engine modification when use as fuel.
26
• Engine using alcohol blended fuel can lose mileage since alcohol
have less heating value with regular unleaded gasoline fuel. For E85,
a lost in mileage of around a 2 to 30% is expected for conventional
engine while 2 to 10% in flex fuel engine.
• Converting regular spark-ignition internal combustion engine requires
correct air-fuel mixture. Ethanol requires roughly 30% less BTU than
regular fuel and requires more fuel to be injected into the engine to get
a right combustion condition. For unleaded gasoline a stoichiometric
air of 14.7:1 while for E85 a stoichiometric air of 9.7:1 is required.
• The octane rating of ethanol is much higher than gasoline which is
around 100 to 105. To minimize detonation, a compression ratio of
the range of 12:5to 14:1 is required to minimize this problem. This
can be done by (a) milling the head of cylinder cover, or (b) turbo
charging. Most regular engine uses a compression ratio of 8:1 up to
10:1.
