Internal combustion engines construction and working all you need to know. At the head of the cylinder intake valve and exhaust valve is present that are operated by a camshaft. Internal combustion engines can be classified internal combustion engines ca n be classified n be classified as c as cas continuous ic engines and ontinuous ic engines and intermittent ic engines. Its major function is to provide space in which the piston can operate to draw in the fuel mixture or air depending upon spark ignition or compression ignition, compress it, allow it to expand and thus generate power. In internal combustion engine, the combustion of fuel takes place inside the engine cylinder an d heat is generated within the cylinder. In a piston engine, the same volume of space the cylinderalternately does four different jobs. The efficiency of the engine is a strong function of the compression ratio. The engine has high compression ratio hence the air in the cylinder attains very high temperature and pressure at the end of the compression stroke.
For the engine to work properly it has to perform some cycle of operations continuously. The fuel must be highly volatile so that it vaporizes quickly. Overview as a construction mechanic, you will benefit from knowledge about the construction of an internal combustion engine and its many moving and stationary parts, including the materials they are made of and their relationship to one another for the engines smooth.
