What does 2 cycle and 4 cycle engines mean?

A 2 cycle engine's piston cycle twice. One compression stroke and 1 exhaust stroke. A 4 cycle engine cycles four times before its exhaust stroke.


Why 3-stroke engine does not exist?

Because a piston travels up and down the bore 2 or 4 times a cycle.


How many times does a piston change direction during one complete disel cycle?

Technician a says the otto cycle gasoline engine has four strokes per cycle technician b say that crankshaft makes four revolutions during four stroke cycle who is right?

Technician A is correct. The crankshaft must revolve two times to complete one cycle, which as 4 strokes. One half revolution for each stroke. Intake, compression, combustion, exhaust = four strokes to complete a cycle. One half revolution for each stroke of the piston going up or down. Look at a diagram and you'll see this is pretty simple.


Why do 2 cycle engines run hotter than 4 cycle?

A two stroke engine fires (an explosion in the motor) twice as often as a four stroke. A stroke is every time the piston in the engine changes direction. (From up to down) A two stroke engine fires every time the piston comes to the top where a four stroke will fire every other time. So if two single cylinder engines are running at 1,000 RPMs a two stroke will fire 1,000 times a four stroke will fire only 500 times. With twice as many explosions it will be hotter.


Are in four stroke engine cylinder move four times in a cycle?

A four stroke engine produces power every other revolution. The term stroke refers to a directional change of the movement of the piston. Taking this into account, the piston moves twice downward and twice upward every time the engine produces power 2 + 2 = 4


Is the piston on a 4 stroke bigger than stroke 2?

Neither a four stroke nor a two stroke have a bigger piston. It all depends on the size of the engine and how it is built. A 250 four stroke will have the same sized piston that a 250 two stroke would if the bore size is the same. Cc is calculated by bore x stroke (how far up and down the piston moves) so if a 250 four stroke has a stroke of 3.00 inches and a 250 2 stroke has a stroke of 3.00 the piston will be the same size. The only difference between a 2 stroke and four stroke is how the engine works. A 2 stroke has reed valves and it makes power every time the piston goes up but a four stroke it makes power every 4 times the piston goes up.


The piston displacement of a specific engines is meaning?

The piston cylinder bore, times the cylinder stroke, times the number of cylinders gives you the specific displacement for a particular engine.


How many times does a piston move up and down in a second?

That is dependent on the RPM of the crankshaft. The higher the RPM's, the more times per second the piston makes a full stroke.


How many times does the spark-plug fire?

Spark plugs fire at the top of the compression stroke. That happens once for every rotation of the crankshaft. So it depends on how many rpms your engine is doing at the time (observable on your tachometer). If your engine is idling at 1000 rpms each of your plugs is firing 1000 times a minute.The spark plug is fired once every two revolutions of the crankshaft on a 4 cycle engine, so at 1000 rpms the spark plug fires 500 times.Poprivet is right and I stand corrected. They do fire every other rotation of the crankshaft.Greetings gentlemen. 'Two Stroke' and "4 Stroke" are confusing misnomers. That is inaccurate, all due respect. Once every 2 rotations, and every one revolution on a two stroke cycle engine..... and there is really no such thing as a 2 cycle or 4 cycle engine. A spark plug fires 30 times a second in a 4 cylinder engine running at 1000 rpm's, 1800 times a minute. On engines with a distributor.One revolution of the crankshaft is two 'strokes' in what the proper term is a " 4 Stroke Cycle" engine. It is important to differentiate between 'stroke' and 'cycle'. It takes 4 movements, one travel of the piston up is a 'stroke'. One travel down is a 'stroke'. It takes 4 strokes to make a cycle..an often misunderstood concept because people say 2 stroke engine, meaning 2 stroke cycle.OK. The spark plug fires one time per 2 revolutions of the crankshaft. Again, on engines with a distributor. But in many modern engines, for example the Saturn Vue, Ford Escort, just to name a couple, and many other modern engines with coil packs and no distributor, there is a "waste spark" on dual polarity coils, the crankshaft position sensor sends a signal to the ECU, aka PCM, and "tells" the coil to ignite the spark plug at each TDC of the piston, both times it is at TDC therefore it will ignite the plug at the top of the exhaust stroke, before the piston begins to travel down on the intake stroke. That is your 'waste spark' and doubles the figure because it fires on each turn on the crankshaft. Now, on a two stroke, it fires every time anyway...that is why it's called "two stroke". Two strokes complete a cycle. There are reed valves, and one stroke is up and the other is down.... and every down stroke is a power producing stroke. Every time the piston travels down it is producing power to the crank, the plug ignited by a magneto. ~David


What is the difference between a 4-stroke and a 2-stroke?

A four stroke engine requires the piston to travel up and down a total of 4 times to complete one full combustion process. The 4 strokes are: intake, compression, power (ignition), exhaust. And the intake and exhaust valves are timed accordingly. A two stroke engine fires ever other stroke and uses ports for intake and exhaust (no valve train)


What is cylinder cycle means?

The most common cycles are the 2 stroke and 4 stroke. One cycle means the pistion inside of the cylinder will move fron one end to the other 2 times in a 2 stroke engine and 4 times in a 4 stroke engine. 2 cycle 1. intake and compression - air/fuel is drawn in and compressed by the pistion moving to the top of the cylinder 2. combustion and exaust - compressed air/fuel is ignited and gases expelled as pistion moves to the bottom of the cylinder 4 cycle (spark ignition engine) 1. intake - exaust valve(s) are closed then the intake valve(s) open and air/fuel is drawn in as piston moves to bottom of the cylinder 2. compression - intake valve(s) close and air/fuel is compressed as piston moves to the top of the cylinder 3. combustion - spark plug ignites the mixture and piston moves to the bottom of the cylinder 4. exaust - exaust valve(s) open and gases are forced out as piston moves to the top of the cylinder There is a lot more to this but I hope I pointed you in the right direction.
