Different types of ic engines

Question

Accepted Answer

IC engines are internal combustion engines that convert chemical energy into mechanical energy.

Internal combustion engines (IC engines) are commonly used in automobiles, motorcycles, and small aircraft.
There are two main types of IC engines: spark ignition engines (SI engines) and compression ignition engines (CI engines).
SI engines, also known as gasoline engines, use a spark plug to ignite the fuel-air mixture. Examples include most cars and motorcycles.
CI engines, also known as diesel engines, compress the air before injecting fuel. Examples include trucks, buses, and some cars.
Other types of IC engines include rotary engines, which use a rotating rotor instead of pistons, and Wankel engines, which are a type of rotary engine.
IC engines can also be classified based on the number of strokes in the engine cycle: two-stroke engines and four-stroke engines.
Two-stroke engines complete the engine cycle in two strokes of the piston, while four-stroke engines complete it in four strokes.
Examples of two-stroke engines include small motorcycles, chainsaws, and outboard motors, while most cars and motorcycles use four-stroke engines.
