A Short Note on I.C. Engine and Its Components

Chingakham Chinglenthoiba, V. Balaji, B. Abbas, A. Madhan Kumar

Abstract


This article presents a brief description of IC engine and its components. Working principle is also explained which conveys a clear idea about efficiency that it starts immediately without much efforts and has higher efficiency than the external combustion engine. Other aspect of IC is that it is portable because of its light weight and compact size. Since it is safer to use, IC engine is commonly preferred for various industrial applications.

Keywords: combustion, crankshaft, cylinder, efficiency, four stroke
