How do gas engines work?
I will explain on a 1 cylinder engine. This makes it easier to under stand. Inside the cylinder is a piston that moves up and down tight to the side walls of the cylinder. Connected to the bottom of the piston is a rod. The rod connects to a shaft called a crankshaft at the bottom of the engine. The crankshaft is connected to the transmission. When the piston is moved downward it turns the crankshaft, also fuel is either pulled in through a carbuerator (cars pre-1986) or pumped in through electronic fuel injection system (callel EFI) above the piston. The crankshaft is still turning and momentum pushes thepiston back up. The fuel and air above the piston are compressed (at least 120psi for gasoline, 500psi for diesel I will explain later.) In a gasoline engine the compressed mixture is ignited by a spark plug located at the top of the cylinder, forcing the piston down and continuing the cycle. In a diesel engine the diesel/air mix is compressed more to create heat. The heat becomes so intense that it ignites and forces the piston downward.
What is the operation of a piston?
It transfers force from the expanding gas in the cylinder to the crankshaft via a piston rod.

What is stroke of an engine?
The stroke of an engine is the distance the piston travels within the cylinder from bottom dead centre to top dead centre. This is governed by the throw of the crankshaft.
What is piston rod?
The piston rod is more usually called the con rod or connecting rod. It is connected at the top end to the piston with what is called a wrist pin. (The wrist pin is a cylinder of steel that slides through the side of the piston and through the top hole in the connecting rod.) At the bottom end the connecting rod mates up to the crankshaft. There is what is called a rod cap that goes on the bottom of the connecting rod to hold that rod onto the journal of the crankshaft. The connecting rod's purpose is to transfer downward and upward thrust between the piston and crank. The combustion of fuel drives the piston down to the crankshaft were it is converted to rotary force which drives your wheels. The wrist pin, is called a piston pin or gudgeon pin in the UK. The hole in the con-rod is commonly called the small or little end, and the other end where the cap holds it to the crankshaft is the big end.

How does a car heat engine change thermal energy into mechanical?
burning fuel in the cylinder gets hot and expandsthe expansion pushes against the pistonthe piston moves pushing on the piston rodthe piston rod moves pushing on the crankshaft eccentricthe crankshaft eccentric rotates the crankshaftthe rotations of the crankshaft pass through the transmission to the wheels to move the car.
What is piston stroke?
a far from my knowledge one piston stroke is the distance the piston head traveled from bottom end of cylinder to top end of the cylinder
Rotates the crankshaft as the piston moves down the cyliner?
i am doing a coures in tafe inspect and service engines and i would like to know this rotates the crankshaft as the piston moves down the cylinder
The up- and -down motion of the piston is converted to rotary motion by the?
crankshaft. The crankshaft is connected to the piston through a connecting rod, and as the piston moves up and down, the crankshaft converts this linear motion into rotary motion, which drives the vehicle's wheels through the transmission system.
What does a Chevy 350 crankshaft do?
When the charge in the cylinder is ignited, it pushes the piston down against the connecting rod, which turns the crankshaft. The crankshaft is connected to the transmission, which transfers power through the drive line, the rear end, through the axels to the tires, and the ground, thus moving the vehicle.
