Want to know how bikes , cars and heavy trucks run and how
they run even with big load , this is done by their main power supplier which
is the 'engine'. The vehicles use internal combustion engine. The internal
combustion engine is the power source for all modern vehicles. Its basic
operating principle is that combustion, or the controlled, steady burning of
air and fuel in the combustion chamber, creates power that forces components
within the engine to move with great speed and force. The motion and force is
transferred to the wheels of the vehicle through components of other automotive
systems.
An understanding of the internal combustion engine, or ICE,
requires an overview of the engine's major components. The components in direct
contact with combustion are the cylinders, pistons, valves and spark plugs. Air
from the vehicle's intake system and fuel from the fuel system is delivered to
an area at the top of each cylinder known as the combustion chamber.
