The Sparking Ignition engine.
The term spark-ignition engine is normally used torefer to internal combustion engines where the fuel-airmixture is ignited with a spark. The term contrasts with
4
compression-ignition engines, where the heat fromcompression alone ignites the mixture. Spark-ignitionengines can be either two-stroke or four-stroke, and arecommonly referred to as "gasoline engines" in Americaand "petrol engines" in Britain. However, these terms arenot preferred, since spark-ignition engines can (andincreasingly are) run on fuels other than gasoline, such asauto gas (LPG), methanol, ethanol, compressed naturalgas (CNG), hydrogen, and (in drag racing) nitromethane.A four-stroke spark-ignition engine is an Otto cycleengine.

Until recently, a major distinction between spark ignitionand compression-ignition engines has beenwhere the fuel is mixed - spark-ignition engines mix fueloutside the cylinders and compression-ignition enginesmix fuel inside the cylinders. However, both two-strokeand four-stroke spark-ignition engines are increasinglybeing designed with gasoline direct injection (GDi),eliminating this distinction between the two systems.

Two Stroke SI Engine
The two-stroke engine is simpler mechanically thanthe four-stroke engine. The two-stroke engine deliversone power stroke every two strokes instead of one everyfour; thus it develops more power with the samedisplacement, or can be lighter and yet deliver the samepower. For this reason it is used in lawn mowers, chainsaws, small automobiles, motorcycles, and outboardmarine engines.

Achievements:• Three prototype pistons were manufactured: twopistons for a spark ignition engine and one pistonfor a compression ignition engine. All three weretested experimentally in single cylinder engines.Models of the piston operation were also developedto investigate the piston concept at differentoperating conditions.• Spark Ignition Engine Test Result SummaryThe spark ignition PRP prototypes demonstrated theutility of the PRP concept when applied to a sparkignition engine. At low loads, the piston behavedlike the elevated compression ratio, yielding a brakespecific fuel consumption (BSFC) improvement of3.5-10% during low load conditions. At high loadconditions, the PRP limited the peak cylinderpressure to that of the baseline (lower compressionratio) 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 forcesassociated with accelerating and decelerating piston) better than singlecylinder.
Most common cylinder arrangements:- In-line 4-cylinder- In-line 6-cylinder- V-6 and V-8
Power Regulation (Throttling)
An IC engine is basically an air engine, the more air you get into thecylinder, 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 thethrottle plate to change the pressure drop. Maximum air flow (andpower) achieved at wide-open-throttle (WOT). Minimum air flow at idle

During start-up the components are cold so fuel evaporation is very slow, as a resultadditional 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.

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 P 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
