Course Instructor: Assist. Prof. Dr. Khalaf I. Hamada

Academic year: 2021-2022


• Teaching scheme: 2 hours lecture and 1 hour tutorial per week Credits: 2 per Semester
• Course description: This course studies the fundamentals of how the design and operation of internal
combustion engines affect their performance, operation, fuel requirements, and environmental impact. Topics
include fluid flow, thermodynamics, combustion, heat transfer and friction phenomena, and fuel properties, with
reference to engine power, efficiency, and emissions. Students examine the design features and operating
characteristics of different types of internal combustion engines: spark-ignition, compression-ignition, four-
stroke, and two-stroke engines. Class includes lab experiments in the IC Engines Laboratory.
• Objective:
• To get familiar with the fundamentals of IC engines, construction and working principle of an engine, and testing
of an engine for analysing its performance.;
• To study the combustion and its controlling factors in order to design efficient engine;
• To study emissions from IC engines and its controlling methods, various emission norms.

Chapter One
Basic Definitions, Components and Classifications of ICEs
What happen in Heat Engine?
The working fluid is separate from combustion products

External Combustion Engine (Steam power plant)

The working fluid is the combustion products itself


Internal Combustion Engines (Gas power plant)
Heat engines also may be classified based on:
 Type of combustion process: (1) Intermittent (2) Continuous

 Type of internal motion: (1) Reciprocating (2) Rotating


 Bore, B: The diameter of the engine cylinder L

Classification of IC Engines: May be classified the IC engine based on:
(1) Based on Method of Ignition
 Spark Ignition (SI) Engine: is an IC engine, generally a petrol engine, where the combustion process of the
air-fuel mixture is ignited by a spark from a spark plug.
 Compression Ignition (CI) Engine: is an IC engine, typically diesel engines, where the heat generated
from compression together with the injection of fuel is enough to initiate
the combustion process, without needing any external spark.

A Compression Ignition (CI) Engine
(2) Based on Working Cycle
 Four Stroke Engine: is a type of IC engine in which the piston completes four separate strokes while
turning the crankshaft two revolution during one power cycle. A stroke refers to the
full travel of the piston along the cylinder, in either direction.
 Two Stroke Engine: is a type of IC engine that completes a power cycle with two strokes (up and down
movements) of the piston during one power cycle, this power cycle being completed in
one revolution of the crankshaft.

A Two-Stroke Engine
(3) Based on Design
 Reciprocating Engine: is typically a heat engine that uses one or more reciprocating pistons to
convert pressure inside the cylinder into a rotating motion. Cylinders may be
aligned in line (or straight), in a V configuration, horizontally opposite each other,
or radially around the crankshaft.
 Rotary Engine: is a type of IC piston engine used in some early aircraft, motorcycles, and cars. Virtually
the whole engine rotates about a fixed crankshaft. It also includes other engines
described as "rotary", such as Wankel engine , Turbine … etc.

(4) Based on Charging Method
 Naturally Aspirated (NA) Engine: is an IC engine in which air intake depends solely on atmospheric
pressure and does not have forced induction through a turbocharger or
a supercharger.
 Supercharged and Turbocharged is a type of IC engine that supercharged (admitting pre-compressed
Engine: fresh mixture) mechanically, and turbocharged (admitting fresh mixture
compressed in a compressor driven by an exhaust turbine)
 Crankcase Compressed Engine: is a type of IC engine that compressed the mixture charge in
a sealed crankcase by the descending piston before passing to
the combustion chamber.

Valve timing diagram of Four-Stroke Engine
 The exact moment at which the inlet and outlet valve opens and closes with reference to the position
of the piston and crank shown diagrammatically is known as valve timing diagram.
 It is expressed in terms of degree crank angle. Valve overlap: is the period during engine operation when both
intake and exhaust valves are open at the same time.
 The theoretical and actual valve timing diagrams are shown below.
 Actual valve timing diagram is different from theoretical one due to mechanical and dynamic factors.
