As the piston rises it compresses the fuel-air mixture and simultaneously sucks fuel and air into the crankcase. A little bit after top dead center, the spark plug fires the compressed mixture forcing the piston back down. As the piston travels down, it uncovers the exhaust and intake ports. The fuel-air mixture in the crank case is forced into the cylinder and blows most of the exhaust gas out by the time the piston starts upwards again and covers the exhaust port. The piston continues upwards to compress the fuel-air mixture and the next cycle starts.

How Air cooling of 4 stroke single cylinder motorbike petrol engine occurs?
The air cooling of a 4 stroke petrol engine takes when the air flows on the engine .it takes not by radiation.
Why Morse test is not suitable for determination of IP in case of single cyliner IC engine?
because in single cylinder if we inoperate one spard plug there no output which we can get but whereras in multi-cylinder even if we close one connection the others will do the work
Compare Hydraulic cylinders single acting and double acting?
Single Acting Cylinders:In single acting cylinders the fluid is pressurized from only one side of the cylinder during both the expansion as well as the retraction process.Double Acting Cylinders:In the double acting cylinders, the pressure from the fluid is applied in both the directions.Any double-acting cylinder may be used as a single-acting unit by draining the inactive end.By hamza_siddiqui@hotmail.com
Who invented the first internal combustion engine?
In 1859 a Belgian engineer Jean Joseph Étienne Lenoirdeveloped the first internal combustion engine. It was a single-cylinder two-stroke engine which burnt a mixture of coal gas and air ignited by a spark-ignition system. He patented it in 1860.Nicolaus Otto invented a gas motor engine in 1876. He built the first practical four-stroke internal combustion engine, called the "Otto Cycle Engine", and built it into a motorcycle.Otto's patent was later revoked when it was contested by Beau de Rochas.
How does a steam engine work?
Imagine 2 main parts. A boiler and a single piston engine. The boiler is filled with water and is heated by a fire. The water boils and expands. The steam escapes the boiler then enters the engine at high pressure. This forces the piston down and turns the crank which is attached to a heavy flywheel for momentum. The steam escapes the cylinder into the atmosphere when the piston reaches the bottom and momentum is gained. A valve opened or closed regulates the in flow of steam into the engine and thus controls the speed of it. What ever is attached to the crank will now be turned.A steam engine, at its simplest, consists of a boiler and a piston, which is contained in a cylinder. The boiler is where water is converted to steam(boiled), using coal. This steam creates a pressure in the cylinder, pushing the piston back, which then causes the crankshaft to rotate. The crankshaft is connected to a wheel, which causes it to rotate as well, thus the movement of the vehicle. Note that the pressure is released each time the piston is pushed back, so that it goes back to its original position. Please check out the attached link to gain a better understanding!A steam engine performs mechanical work by using steam as its working fluid. High pressure steam is used to press on pistons and push exhaust steam out into the air. A cross head is connected to the piston rod and then to whatever needs to have mechanical work done on it.

What are the effects of a spark plug not working?
A spark plug is used to ignite the fuel/air mixture inside the cylinder of an internal combustion engine. If the spark plug isn't working, the cylinder won't fire. In a multi-cylinder engine, this will result in rough running and loss of power. In a small, single cylinder engine, this will result in the inability to start the engine.
How single acting cylinder work?
working of single acting and double acting cylinder
Why are multi cylinder engines preferred to single cylinder engines?
this is rhetorical when you think about it. when you have more cylinders, you have more power, but less fuel efficiency, and vice versa. In this answer its not all completely correct in some cases a multi-cylinder engine can have a better fuel economy compared to a single cylinder engine, it depends on the capacity of the of the cylinder, the size of the valves and how much they allow the fuel and air mixture (in S.I engines A.K.A petrol engines) or air for diesel engines. One reason that i know of for a multi-cylinder engine to be preferred to a single cylinder engine is because it gives less stress to the engine when running it also causes the engine to be more stable. In addition a multi-cylinder engine has less time between power strokes so the engine is more efficient.
Can you replace a twin cylinder lawn mower engine with a single cylinder?
There should not be any problem as long as the single cylinder engine has the same horsepower for handling the load, and the mounting bolt holes match up.
How many cylinders on a 6.1 single cylinder engine?
1
What is the difference between a single-acting and an opposed piston engine is?
Single-acting? You mean like a single cylinder engine, like in my lawn mower? The biggest difference (besides the obvious "an opposed engine has more cylinders" is that an opposed engine has more torque. On a single-cylinder four-stroke, you've got the cylinder moving under input energy--the burning gasoline--for one stroke, and under stored energy from the flywheel for three strokes. If you have a two-cylinder engine, you have two strokes where the engine is moving under input energy--each cylinder has one--and two strokes using stored energy. If you have a four-cylinder engine, each stroke is moving under input energy.
How much horsepower does a single cylinder Rotex engine have?
Sorry- no one engine, no one horsepower, no one answer.
What is a one-lunger?
A one lunger is a single cylinder internal combustion engine.
What is a single cylinder engine?
An engine works by placing fuel in a cylinder and igniting it to create movement on the push or downward movement. A single cylinder uses only one cylinder to burn fuel. It is more efficient to use 2 or more to create movement on the up AND downward stroke of a fuel burn. Hope this helps.
What is the value of exhaust gas velocity in single cylinder IC engine?
50m/s
How do you calculate the volume of an engine?
Calculate the volume of a single cylinder and multiply it by the number of cylinders.
