What are the major components and systems of an engine?
1 Answers
An engine consists of two major mechanisms and five systems, namely the crank-connecting rod mechanism, valve train, fuel supply system, lubrication system, cooling system, ignition system, and starting system. An engine is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, originating in the UK. It can refer to either the power generation device or the entire machine including the power unit. Types of engines include internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, electric motors, etc. Engine displacement is a crucial parameter, representing the total working volume of all cylinders, typically measured in liters. The cylinder working volume refers to the gas volume swept by the piston from top dead center to bottom dead center, also known as single-cylinder displacement, which depends on the cylinder bore and piston stroke.
