Air is not forced into the cylinder unless turbocharged. Atmospheric pressure is 14 psi. We stand and live in it every day. When the piston travels down it create a void that the atmospheric pressure rushes in to fill when the intake valve is opened.

On a 4-cylinder engine that has a firing order of 1342 if number 1 cylinder is on the exhaust stroke what stroke is number 3 cylinder on?

On a 4-cylinder engine with a firing order of 1342, if number 1 cylinder is on the exhaust stroke, the number 3 cylinder will be on the induction stroke.


What is the purpose of the butterfly valve inside the induction airbox of a piston engine?

The purpose of butter fly valve is to maintain one way opening during induction stroke and exhaust stroke.


What enters the cylinder during the induction stroke on a diesel engine?

In an internal combustion engine with a carburettor a mixture of air and atomised fuel is drawn into the cylinder. If the engine is fuel injected compression ignition engine then air is drawn in, the fuel is introduced just before top dead centre of the compression stoke. If you mean intake stroke, then the answer is air.


How is engine vacuum created?

During the intake stroke of each cylinder.


What you mean by induction stroke?

A standard four stroke cycle engine has intake, compression, power, exhaust strokes. Induction and intake are the same thing. Answer The induction stroke is where the engine cylinder refills with a new 'charge' of air (if it's a diesel) and air and fuel (if it's a petrol) There are slight variants on the above depending on whether the the fuel is directly or in-directly injected in to the engine - but to keep it simple the above hopefully will give you a good idea!


During what stage of engine operation does the piston move upward in the cylinder and force the burned gases out of the cylinder?

Exhaust stroke.


How does engine produce heat?

From the result of combustion during the power stroke of each cylinder.


What is the definition of reciprocating pump?

a pump consisting of a piston that moves back and forth or up and down in a cylinder. The cylinder is equipped with inlet (suction) and outlet( discharge) valves. On the intake stroke, the suction valves are opened, and fluid is drawn into the cylinder. On the discharge stroke, the suction valves close, the discharge valves open, and fluid is forced out of the cylinder.


Is two stroke diesel possible?

Sure. Bigger diesels are very often 2-stroke. With forced induction(turbos, superchargers), fuel injection and pressure lubrication they don't suffer the drawbacks of the small 2-strokes of pollution and excessive fuel consumption.


How does internal combustion engin work?

A 4 stroke gasoline internal combustion engine operates on a 4 stroke cycle, hence the name, "4 stroke engine". The first stroke is the intake stroke, the piston moves down the cylinder, which creates a vaccume, which draws in fuel and air from the induction system. The second stroke is the compression stroke. The piston starts at the bottom of the cylinder and begins to move up, compressing the air and fuel mixture. Just before the piston is at the top of the cylinder (top dead center), the spark plug fires, igniting the compressed air and fuel mixture. The resulting explosion causes the 3rd stroke, the power stroke. The force of the explosion pushes the piston back down the cylinder, turning the crankshaft. The 4th and final stroke is the exhaust stroke. After the power stroke, there is exhaust gas left in the cylinder. The piston moves back up as the exhaust valve opens, pushing the gases up the cylinder and out the exhaust. This cycle continues thousands of time per minute as the engine is running.
