PURPOSE AND PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHAPTER
The purpose of̣ this chapter is to introduce students to the basic construction and operation of̣ an internal
combustion engine. It describes the many engine components and how to identif̣y the various pieces. Also
explained are the dif̣f̣erent engine classif̣ications along with the dif̣f̣erent systems and how they work
together to keep the engine operating ef̣f̣ectively.
CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of̣ this chapter, the student should be able to:
Explain the principles of̣ internal combustion engine operation.
Identif̣y internal combustion engine parts by name.
Explain various engine classif̣ications and systems.

CHAPTER OUTLINE
In a simple one-cylinder engine, the reciprocating
to usable rotary motion by the connecting rod(up-and-down)
and crankshaf̣tmotion of̣ thegives
. A f̣lywheel pistonmomentum
is changedto the
crankshaf̣t between power strokes. Valves control the engine’s intake and exhaust. (PPT Slide 4)
During one f̣our-stroke cycle, the intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes are completed.
This action takes 720°, or two crankshaf̣t revolutions. (PPT Slide 5)
