Intake Stroke in Diesel Engines

A four-stroke diesel engine operates through intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes. During the intake stroke, air is drawn into the cylinder, followed by compression which raises the air's temperature for ignition. The power stroke ignites the fuel, generating work, and the exhaust stroke expels the burnt gases from the cylinder.

working of 4-stroke diesel engine:

A four-stroke diesel engine operates through a cycle of four distinct strokes: intake, compression, power,
and exhaust. The intake stroke draws air into the cylinder, the compression stroke compresses the air,
raising its temperature to ignite the fuel, the power stroke generates work as the fuel burns, and the
exhaust stroke expels the burnt gases.

1. Intake Stroke:
 The piston moves from TDC (Top Dead Center) to the BDC (Bottom Dead Center).
 The inlet valve is open, and the exhaust valve is closed.
 Air is drawn into the cylinder from the intake manifold.
 This is a displacement process, not an adiabatic process, meaning the pressure and temperature in
the cylinder change.
2. Compression Stroke:
 The piston moves from BDC to TDC .
 Both the inlet and exhaust valves are closed.
 The air in the cylinder is compressed, increasing its pressure and temperature.
 This compression prepares the air for ignition.
 The air is compressed isentropically (1-2)as the piston moves from BDC to TDC
3. Power Stroke:
 The piston moves from TDC (Top Dead Center) to the BDC (Bottom Dead Center).
 Fuel is injected into the cylinder at the end of the compression stroke.
 The high temperature of the compressed air causes the fuel to ignite, creating combustion.
 The expanding combustion gases force the piston down, generating power.
 The combustion of injected fuel during this phase (between state ‘2’ and state ‘3’) results in a
constant pressure heat added
 the gas expands isentropically from state ‘3’ to state ‘4’.
4. Exhaust Stroke:
 The piston moves from BDC to TDC
 The exhaust valve is open, and the inlet valve is closed.
 The burnt gases are expelled from the cylinder
 Heat is removed from the cylinder this stage (‘4’ to ‘1’) and (1-0).
