What are different types of ic engines?

Question

Accepted Answer

There are two main types of IC engines: spark ignition (SI) engines and compression ignition (CI) engines.

Spark ignition (SI) engines use a spark plug to ignite the fuel-air mixture, commonly used in gasoline engines.
Compression ignition (CI) engines rely on the heat generated by compressing the air-fuel mixture to ignite it, commonly used in diesel engines.
Other types include rotary engines, two-stroke engines, and four-stroke engines.
Rotary engines, also known as Wankel engines, use a rotor instead of pistons for compression and combustion.
Two-stroke engines complete the combustion cycle in two strokes of the piston, commonly used in small engines like chainsaws and motorcycles.
Four-stroke engines complete the combustion cycle in four strokes of the piston, commonly used in cars and larger machinery.
