THE UNIVERSITY OF LAHORE REG NO: BME: 01083004 SECTION: BDEPARTMENT: MECHANICAL
The Sparking Ignition engine. The term spark-ignition engine is normally used to refer to internal combustion engines where the fuel-air mixture is ignited with a spark. The term contrasts with
compression-ignition engines, where the heat from compression alone ignites the mixture. Spark-ignition engines can be either two-stroke or four-stroke, and are commonly referred to as "gasoline engines" in America and "petrol engines" in Britain. However, these terms are not preferred, since spark-ignition engines can (and increasingly are) run on fuels other than gasoline, such as auto gas (LPG), methanol, ethanol, compressed natural gas (CNG), hydrogen, and (in drag racing) nitromethane. A four-stroke spark-ignition engine is an Otto cycle engine.
Until recently, a major distinction between spark ignition and compression-ignition engines has been where the fuel is mixed - spark-ignition engines mix fuel outside the cylinders and compression-ignition engines mix fuel inside the cylinders. However, both two-stroke and four-stroke spark-ignition engines are increasingly being designed with gasoline direct injection (GDi), eliminating this distinction between the two systems.

(sparking ignition engine) Advantages for Spark Ignition Engines: - Increase efficiency at part load operating conditions by operating at a higher effective compression ratio - Successfully avoid spark knock at full load conditions, even during rapid transients

Two Stroke SI Engine The two-stroke engine is simpler mechanically than the four-stroke engine. The two-stroke engine delivers one power stroke every two strokes instead of one every four; thus it develops more power with the same displacement, or can be lighter and yet deliver the same power. For this reason it is used in lawn mowers, chain saws, small automobiles, motorcycles, and outboard marine engines.

Achievements: • Three prototype pistons were manufactured: two pistons for a spark ignition engine and one piston for a compression ignition engine. All three were tested experimentally in single cylinder engines. Models of the piston operation were also developed to investigate the piston concept at different operating conditions. • Spark Ignition Engine Test Result Summary The spark ignition PRP prototypes demonstrated the utility of the PRP concept when applied to a spark ignition engine. At low loads, the piston behaved like the elevated compression ratio, yielding a brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) improvement of 3.5-10% during low load conditions. At high load conditions, the PRP limited the peak cylinder pressure to that of the baseline (lower compression ratio) piston.
Cylinder Arrangement • Single-cylinder engine gives one power stroke per crank revolution • (2 stroke) or two revolutions (4 stroke). The torque pulses are widely • spaced, and engine vibration and smoothness are significant problems. • Used in small engine applications where engine size is more important • Multi-cylinder engines spread out the displacement volume amongst • multiple smaller cylinders. Increased frequency of power strokes • produces smoother torque characteristics. Engine balance (inertia forces • associated with accelerating and decelerating piston) better than single • cylinder. • Most common cylinder arrangements: • In-line 4-cylinder • In-line 6-cylinder • V-6 and V-8
Pint < Patm Patm Intake manifold Power Regulation (Throttling) An IC engine is basically an air engine, the more air you get into the cylinder, the more fuel you can burn, the more power you get out. The initial pressure in the cylinder is roughly equal to the pressurein the intake manifold. Pressure in the intake manifold is varied by opening and closing the throttle plate to change the pressure drop. Maximum air flow (andpower) achieved at wide-open-throttle (WOT). Minimum air flow at idle Fuel Idle WOT
Basic Carburetor Design Air Flow Venturi Fuel Throttle Mixture to manifold
Fuel Injection System Air intake manifold Throttle Fuel tank During start-up the components are cold so fuel evaporation is very slow, as a result additional fuel is added through a second injecting valve
Superchargers and Turbochargers increase the power of an IC engineby raising the intake pressure and thus allowing more fuel to be burnedper cycle. Knock or autoignition phenomenon limit precompression. Superchargers are compressors that are mechanically driven by theengine crankshaft and thus represent a parasitic load. Pint > Patm Patm Compressor
Turbochargers couple a compressor with a turbine driven by the exhaust gas.The compressor pressure is proportional to the engine speed
The peak pressure in the exhaust system is only slightly greater than atmospheric – small DP across turbine. In order to produce enough power to run compressor the turbine speed must be very fast (100k-200k rev/min) – long term reliability an issue. It takes time for turbine to get up to speed so when the throttle is opened suddenly there is a delay in achieving peak power - Turbo lag. Waste gate valve controls the exhaust gas flow rate to the turbine. It is controlled by the intake manifold pressure EXHAUST FLOW INTAKE AIR
