Types of IC engine

Types of IC engines are defined as various factors as shown below.

1.Cylinder position
•Inline engines

• V-engines

•Radial engines

•Opposed piston engines 

•Opposed cylinder engines 

2.speeds of engines 

•High speed engines

•Low speed engines

•Medium speed engines

Petrol engines are high speed but diesel engines are low speed and medium speed engines

3.Cooling method 

•Air cooled engines 

•Water cooled engines

4.Numbers of cylinder

•Single cylinder engines 

•Multi cylinder engines 

5.Method of ignition

•Spark ignition engines(SI engines)

Mixture of air and fuel is take for combustion 

•Compression ignition engines(CI engines)

Fuel is come in contact with hot compressed air for combustion 

6.Numbers of stroke (per cycle)

•Four stroke engines

•Two stroke engines 

7.Nature of thermodynamics cycle

•Otto cycle engines

•Diesel cycle engines

•Duel or mixed cycle engines 

8.Types of fuel used as

•Petrol engines 

•Diesel engines 

•Gas engines 

•Bi-fuel engines
