Ic Engine Introduction

The document discusses internal combustion engines and provides classifications. It defines heat engines and notes that internal combustion engines convert chemical energy to mechanical power. Internal combustion engines are classified based on design (reciprocating or rotary), working cycle (Otto or Diesel), number of strokes (2 or 4), ignition type (spark or compression), fuel used, cooling method, cylinder arrangement, charging, and application. Common engine types like gasoline, diesel, and their variations are also described at a high level.

Heat Engines Introduction Engine is a device for converting one form of energy into another form. Normally most of the engines convert Thermal Energy into Mechanical Energy. Hence they are called Heat Engines. Heat Engines can be broadly categorized as 1. Internal Combustion Engines 1. External Combustion Engines
