  2. Reciprocating engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocating_engine

    Ray-traced image of a piston engine. There may be one or more pistons. Each piston is inside a cylinder, into which a gas is introduced, either already under pressure (e.g. steam engine), or heated inside the cylinder either by ignition of a fuel air mixture (internal combustion engine) or by contact with a hot heat exchanger in the cylinder (Stirling engine).

  3. Fairbanks Morse 38 8-1/8 diesel engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../8_diesel_engine

    Fairbanks Morse Opposed Piston liner and water jacket. The 38 8-1/8 engines are inline diesel engines, with combustion occurring between two opposed pistons within a single cylinder liner. The engine has a bore of 8-1/8 inches (206.4 mm), a stroke of 10 inches (254.0 mm) for each piston, and the cylinder height is 38 inches (970 mm).

  4. Component parts of internal combustion engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_parts_of...

    A piston is a component of reciprocating engines. It is located in a cylinder and is made gas-tight by piston rings. Its purpose is to transfer force from expanding gas in the cylinder to the crankshaft via a piston rod and/or connecting rod. In two-stroke engines the piston also acts as a valve by covering and uncovering ports in the cylinder ...

  5. Indicator diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicator_diagram

    An indicator diagram is a chart used to measure the thermal, or cylinder, performance of reciprocating steam and internal combustion engines and compressors. [1] An indicator chart records the pressure in the cylinder versus the volume swept by the piston, throughout the two or four strokes of the piston which constitute the engine, or ...

  6. Single- and double-acting cylinders - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-_and_double-acting...

    Single-acting pistons of a typical modern diesel car engine. In contrast to steam engines, nearly all internal combustion engines have used single-acting cylinders. Their pistons are usually trunk pistons, where the gudgeon pin joint of the connecting rod is within the piston itself. This avoids the crosshead, piston rod and its sealing gland ...

  7. Piston - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston

    This pin is mounted within the piston: unlike the steam engine, there is no piston rod or crosshead (except big two stroke engines). The typical piston design is on the picture. This type of piston is widely used in car diesel engines. According to purpose, supercharging level and working conditions of engines the shape and proportions can be ...

  8. Diesel cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_cycle

    Diesel engines are used in aircraft, automobiles, power generation, diesel–electric locomotives, and both surface ships and submarines. The Diesel cycle is assumed to have constant pressure during the initial part of the combustion phase (to in the diagram, below). This is an idealized mathematical model: real physical diesels do have an ...

  9. Straight-four engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-four_engine

    The smallest automotive straight-four engine was used in the 1963–1967 Honda T360 kei truck and has a displacement of 356 cc (21.7 cu in), while the largest mass-produced straight-four car engine is the 1999–2019 Mitsubishi 4M41 diesel engine which was used in the Mitsubishi Pajero and has a displacement of 3.2 L (195 cu in).
