Presentation Topic-

Two Stroke Engine

Stroke

Reciprocating motion used in reciprocating engines and other

mechanisms is back and fourth motion .Each cycle of reciprocation
consists of two opposite motions , there is a motion in one direction and
then a motion back in the opposite direction . Each of this motion is
called stroke.

2 stroke
A two-stroke petrol engine is an internal combustion engine that completes
the process cycle in one revolution of the crankshaft . Thus one power
stroke is obtained in each revolution of the crank shaft.

Basic parts of 2-stroke petrol engine

Piston

Piston Ring

Spark plug

Connecting rod

Crankshaft

Spark Plug

Electronic match is used to begun the combustion process of burning air

and petrol to create heat.

It provides the means of ignition when the petrol engines piston is at

the end of compression stroke close to Top Dead Central (TDC)

Connecting rod

Connects the piston and piston point to the crankshaft

Piston

A sliding plug that harness the force of the burning gases in the cylinder

Crankshaft

Along the piston pin and the connecting rod is converts the up and down
motion ( reciprocating ) of the engine to spinning (rotary) motion

Working & parts of 2-Stroke

As the name itself implies, all the processes in the two
stroke cycle engine are completed in two strokes. These
engine have 1 power stroke per revolution of the
crankshaft.
In the two stroke engine there is a two opening called
ports are provided in place of valve of four stroke
engines.
These ports are opened and closed by reciprocating
motion of the piston in the cylinder.

Exhaust port
Transfer port

One port known as a inlet port and another port is

known as a exhaust port.
Two stroke engine consist of a cylinder with one end
fitted with a cylinder head and other end fitted with a
hermitically sealed crankcase which enables it to
function as a pump in conjuction with the piston.

Crank case

Working Principle of 2 stroke

Here suction and exhaust strokes are eliminated . Instead of valves , ports are
used.

The exhaust gases are driven out of the cylinder by the fresh fuel entering the
cylinder.

The intake & exhaust are controlled by movement of piston.

The fresh fuel enter to cylinder due to difference of pressure.

The fuel is compressed by the pumping action of the piston due to the design of
crankcase.

As the piston continues to move upward , exhaust and transfer port get closed
and the compression is continued.

In the end of the compression the spark is created which ignites the fuel & in
result of combustion thrust the piston moves from TDC to BDC.

This cycle is repeated continuously

Advantages

The power developed will be nearly twice that of four stroke engine of
same dimension and operating at the same speed

The work required to overcome the friction of the exhaust and suction
strokes is saved

Low weight

Construction is simple

Low thermal efficiency.

Can run at higher speeds (5000 rpm)

Low maintenance cost

Disadvantages

As working on otto-cycle , a part of the fresh mixture is lost through

exhaust port

Part of the piston stroke is lost

Heavy consumption of lubricating oil

Two-stroke engines are not fuel efficient, so we would get fewer miles
per gallon.
