What Gas Does a Gasoline Engine Inhale?

[DelJasper]

Gasoline engines inhale a mixture of gasoline and air. Below are the working principle and classification of gasoline engines. Working principle of gasoline engines: By burning the fuel inside the cylinder, kinetic energy is generated, which drives the piston inside the engine cylinder to reciprocate. This, in turn, drives the connecting rod attached to the piston and the crankshaft connected to the connecting rod, performing reciprocating circular motion around the center of the crankshaft, thereby outputting power. Classification of gasoline engines: By fuel type: Diesel engines, gasoline engines, and natural gas engines. By cycle strokes: Four-stroke engines and two-stroke engines. By cooling method: Water-cooled engines and air-cooled engines. By ignition method: Compression ignition engines and spark ignition engines. By mixture formation method: Engines with external mixture formation and internal combustion engines with internal mixture formation. By intake method: Naturally aspirated engines and turbocharged engines. By number of cylinders: Single-cylinder engines and multi-cylinder engines.
