How many cycles in diesel engine

Question

Accepted Answer

The number of cycles in a diesel engine is typically four.

Diesel engines are typically four-stroke engines.
The four strokes are intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust.
During the intake stroke, air is drawn into the engine.
During the compression stroke, the air is compressed.
During the combustion stroke, fuel is injected and ignited, causing an explosion that drives the piston down.
During the exhaust stroke, the spent gases are expelled from the engine.
This process is repeated for each cylinder in the engine.
Some diesel engines may have more or fewer cylinders, but the number of cycles per cylinder is typically four.
