Analysis of Six Stroke in an Internal Combustion Engine

Abstract

In the present time, increasing use of auto-vehicles requires more need of fuel and eventually it produces more emissions. But fuel and natural resources are limited in amount. So the aim is to reduce the emissions and fuel consumption in the engines. In that case, six-stroke engine is the great solution. Six-stroke engine is the modified form of four stroke engine. It contains two additional strokes (power stroke by air, exhaust stroke by air). Hence there are two power strokes in a one cycle. The main advantage of six-stroke engine is that fuel consumption is reduced by 40% and thermal efficiency reaches up to 50%.
