Q

Compression ignition

A

The process by which compression raises the air temperature above the fuel’s ignition temperature causing combustion to occur instantly as the fuel is injected, eliminating the need for a mechanical ignition system which are necessary in gasoline engines

Q

Compression ratio

A

A comparison of the volume of air in a cylinder before compression with its volume after compression

ex. 16:1 compression ratio means that at the top of the compression stroke, the air in the cylinder takes up 1/16 the volume it did when the piston was at the bottom of the compression stroke

Stroke

A

The up or down movement of the piston within the cylinder

Four stroke - One stroke each for intake, compression, power, and exhaust

Two stroke - all four actions are accomplished with only two piston strokes, one up (intake and compression) and one down (power and exhaust).
