The document is an introduction to internal combustion engines. It defines an engine as a machine that converts one form of energy into mechanical energy and a heat engine as a device that transforms chemical energy from fuel into thermal and mechanical work. It discusses the basic idea of an internal combustion engine and provides classifications for engine speed, including slow, medium, and high-speed engines. It also includes diagrams of valve timing for a four-stroke engine.

ENGINE Engine: An engine is a machine designed to convert one form of energy into mechanical energy.
Heat Engine: A heat engine is a device
which transforms the chemical energy of the fuel into thermal energy and uses this energy to produce mechanical work.
