Engine Components and Functions

The cylinder houses the piston and provides the space for combustion, allowing the conversion of fuel energy into mechanical energy.
The piston in a reciprocating engine converts the energy generated from combustion into linear motion, driving the crankshaft.
The piston draws in the air-fuel mixture via a downward movement during the intake stroke, creating a partial vacuum that sucks the mixture into the cylinder.
Valves control the flow of air and fuel into the cylinder and the exhaust gases out of it, ensuring the engine operates efficiently.
The camshaft operates the valves at the correct timing during the engine's cycle, shaping the intake and exhaust flow dynamics.
The highest point of the piston within the cylinder is known as Top Dead Center (TDC).
The distance between TDC and Bottom Dead Center (BDC) is referred to as the stroke length, indicating how far the piston travels in one complete cycle.
Power is measured in horsepower, with one horsepower equivalent to approximately 746 watts, serving as a standard unit of measure for engine output.
