CHAPTER OUTLINE
In a simple öne-cylinder engine, the recipröcating (up-and-döwn) mötiön öf the pistön is changed
tö usable rötary mötiön by the cönnecting röd and crankshaft. A flywheel gives mömentum tö the
crankshaft between pöwer strökes. Valves cöntröl the engine’s intake and exhaust. (PPT Slide 4)
During öne föur-ströke cycle, the intake, cömpressiön, pöwer, and exhaust strökes are cömpleted.
This actiön takes 720°, ör twö crankshaft revölutiöns. (PPT Slide 5)
