Intake Stroke
Intake valve opens.Piston moves down, ½ turn of crankshaft.A vacuum is created in the cylinder.Atmospheric pressure pushes the air/fuel mixture into the cylinder.

23
Compression Stroke
Valves close.Piston moves up, ½ turn of crankshaft.Air/fuel mixture is compressed.Fuel starts to vaporize and heat begins to build.

24
Power Stroke
Valves remain closed.Spark plug fires igniting fuel mixture.Piston moves down, ½ turn of crankshaft.Heat is converted to mechanical energy.

Diesel
![Page 32: 1 Physical principles related to operation Basic parts of the engine assembly Four stroke operating theory.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514f65a550346b0478b609d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Why not diesel?1. Diesel engines, because they have
much higher compression ratios (20:1 for a typical diesel vs. 8:1 for a typical gasoline engine), tend to be heavier than an equivalent gasoline engine.
2. Diesel engines also tend to be more expensive.
![Page 33: 1 Physical principles related to operation Basic parts of the engine assembly Four stroke operating theory.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514f65a550346b0478b609d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Why not diesel?
3. Diesel engines, because of the weight and compression ratio, tend to have lower maximum RPM ranges than gasoline engines (see Question 381 for details). This makes diesel engines high torque rather than high horsepower, and that tends to make diesel cars slow in terms of acceleration.
4. Diesel engines must be fuel injected, and in the past fuel injection was expensive and less reliable
![Page 34: 1 Physical principles related to operation Basic parts of the engine assembly Four stroke operating theory.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514f65a550346b0478b609d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Why not diesel?
5. Diesel engines tend to produce more smoke and "smell funny".
6. Diesel engines are harder to start in cold weather, and if they contain glow plugs, diesel engines can require you to wait before starting the engine so the glow plugs can heat up.
7. Diesel engines are much noisier and tend to vibrate.
8. Diesel fuel is less readily available than gasoline

35
Why not diesel?One or two of these disadvantages would be OK, but a group of disadvantages this large is a big deterrent for lots of people.
![Page 36: 1 Physical principles related to operation Basic parts of the engine assembly Four stroke operating theory.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514f65a550346b0478b609d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
AdvantagesThe two things working in favor of diesel engines are better fuel economy and longer engine life. Both of these advantages mean that, over the life of the engine, you will tend to save money with a diesel. However, you also have to take the initial high cost of the engine into account. You have to own and operate a diesel engine for a fairly long time before the fuel economy overcomes the increased purchase price of the engine. The equation works great in a big diesel tractor-trailer rig that is running 400 miles every day, but it is not nearly so beneficial in a passenger car.

The Cycle
How many revolutions of the crankshaft does it take to complete the four strokes?If an engine idles at 500 rpm, how many power strokes occur per minute?How many power strokes per second?How about at 5000 rpm or 10,000 rpm?
