A Review of Internal Combustion Engine Design

Abstract

The most successful inventions of human includes internal combustion engine (I C Engine) as top of the list. The recent emphasis on fuel economy, pollution control and other automobile fields like low friction body profile has also stimulated theoretical searches for an automobile. Studies have found no alternative type that promises to have significant advantages in fuel economy or pollution control than conventional I C Engines. But from these studies, it appears that the conventional types of spark-ignition and Diesel engines will remain in their present predominant position in land and sea transportation and for industrial and portable power for the foreseeable future. And so, here is an approach to have combined design aspects for all basic I C Engine components in one paper. Design aspects includes components like, piston, piston rings, cylinder, cylinder head, connecting rod, crank and crank shaft, cam and cam shaft along with valve and valve gear mechanism. A paper can be the base for future detailed designing work of I C Engine along with stress analysis and simulation.
