The stage that occurs just before ignition in an internal combustion engine is the compression stroke. During this phase, the piston moves upward in the cylinder, compressing the air-fuel mixture to a high pressure and temperature. This compression prepares the mixture for ignition, which is typically initiated by a spark from the spark plug in gasoline engines or by the heat of compression in diesel engines.

How Combustion lag and ignition timing are connected?

Combustion lag refers to the time between spark(ignition) and the highest combustion pressure in an engine. Ignition timing refers to how many degrees before top dead center(top dead center compression in 4 strokes) the crankshaft rotation is during ignition. These two are connected by timing your ignition on point with combustion lag characteristics to tune ignition timing and gain max volumetric efficiency out of an engine. Timing advances (ignites farther from tdc) as rpm's increase.


Is a steam engine an example of an internal combustion engine?

No, the steam engine is an external combustion engine because the steam is heated by heat generated by combustion outside externally through heat transfer. A spark ignition engine is an example of an internal combustion engine.

What is SI engine and CI engine?

An SI engine is a spark ignition engine. A CI engine is a compression ignition engine. SI engines use spark plugs to ignite fuel in the combustion chamber. CI engines use compression in the combustion chamber to ignite the fuel.
