Study Notes

Automobile engines must be lightweight and have minimum fuel consumption.
Engines are classified based on the number of cylinders, cylinder arrangement, valve arrangement, cooling methods, fuel used, and thermodynamic cycles.
Single-cylinder engines have one cylinder, while multi-cylinder engines have more than one cylinder.
Cylinder arrangement includes in-line, V cylinder, and V-8 engines.
Valve arrangement includes T-head, F-head, L-head, I-head, and overhead engines.
Cooling methods include air-cooled and water-cooled engines.
Gasoline, diesel, and gas are the types of fuel used in engines.
Engines can be classified based on the thermodynamic cycle used, including constant volume combustion cycle, constant pressure combustion cycle, and mixed cycle engines.
Air-cooled engines have fins to radiate heat, while water-cooled engines require circulation of water and have radiators.
The difference between I-head and overhead valve engines is that I-head valves are actuated by push rods, while overhead valves are actuated by cams.
