The document discusses the key differences between two-stroke and four-stroke engines. It explains that in a two-stroke engine, the piston completes the power stroke in one revolution of the crankshaft, while in a four-stroke engine it takes two revolutions. Two-stroke engines are lighter and simpler in design but less efficient, while four-stroke engines are more complex but more thermally efficient. The document provides details on the engine components and combustion processes that allow two strokes engines to operate differently than four-stroke engines.

It is a cylindrical chamber where the It is used to convert reciprocating

the main part of the engine block. motion. It is a cylindrical component that fits snugly inside the cylinder. It moves from Bottom Dead Center (BDC) to Top Dead Center (TDC). Two-stroke engines contain ports These engines contain one extra port except valves. These ports open and These are connected to inlet and which is known as transfer port. It is closed due to piston movement. exhaust port and regulate the connected from crankcase to When the piston is moving towards flow of charge and exhaust gases. combustion chamber. Its main TDC inlet ports opens and when it function is to supply the charge from moves toward BDC exhaust port crankcase to combustion chamber opens when piston is moving from TDC to BDC This is the part where the crankshaft is situated. The inlet port They are responsible for igniting is also connected with the the fuel-air mixture in the It is where the fresh charge enters crankcase. The first charge enters combustion chamber. into the crankcase through the into the crankcase and is sent to the spring-automatic valve. combustion chamber through the transfer port. One power stroke is One power stroke is obtained in every two obtained in each revolutions of the revolution of the crankshaft as the cycle crankshaft as the cycle is completed in four- is completed in two strokes of the piston or strokes or in one in two revolutions of revolution of the the crankshaft. crankshaft.
One power stroke in The turning movement of the
two revolutions of the shaft is more uniform and hence crankshaft makes the a lighter flywheel is needed to turning movement of rotate the shaft uniformly. the shaft non-uniform and hence a heavier flywheel is needed to rotate the shaft uniformly. Power produced for Power produced for the same size of the the same size of the engine is less and for engine is more and for the same power the same power output, the engine is output, the engine is larger in size, because smaller in size, only one power stroke because one power is obtained in two stroke is obtained in revolutions. every revolutions.
It contains valve and It has ports. Some engines are

Due to positive It has lower thermal efficiency
scavenging and and volumetric efficiency. Some greater time of of the fresh charge escapes induction, its thermal unburnt during scavenging in efficiency and petrol engines. volumetric efficiency are higher. Used where high Used where low cost, low efficiency is important weight and compactness as in automobiles, are important as in power generation and scooters, mopeds, aero planes. lawnmowers, motorcycles, etc. Two-stroke diesel engines are used in very large sizes for ship propulsion because of low weight and compactness.
Normally water-cooled, Normally air-cooled, the wear
the wear and tear is and tear is therefore more. It therefore less. It requires more amount of consumes less amount lubricant. Usually, mobile oil is of lubricant. The mixed with fuel. lubricant is placed in the crankcase. It is not mixed with fuel. Write a closing statement or call-to-action here.
