working of IC engine

Question

Accepted Answer

IC engine is an internal combustion engine that converts chemical energy into mechanical energy.

IC engine works on the principle of internal combustion, where fuel is burned inside the engine to produce power.
It consists of four strokes: intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust.
During the intake stroke, the fuel-air mixture is drawn into the cylinder.
In the compression stroke, the mixture is compressed to increase its pressure and temperature.
The combustion stroke involves the ignition of the compressed mixture, resulting in an explosion.
The explosion forces the piston down, converting the pressure into mechanical work.
Finally, in the exhaust stroke, the burnt gases are expelled from the cylinder.
Examples of IC engines include gasoline engines used in cars and diesel engines used in trucks.
