1 Answer

Answer :

Suction stroke: During this stroke, inlet valve is open and exhaust valve is closed. The piston moves from TDC to BDC and crank shaft rotates through 180˚. The downward movement of the piston sucks air-fuel mixture in the cylinder from the carburetor through the open inlet valve.

 Compression Stroke: During compression stroke, the piston moves upward (from BDC to TDC), thus compressing the charge. Both the inlet and exhaust valves remain closed during the compression stroke.  

 Power stroke or Working stroke: At the end of the compression stroke the charge (air-fuel mixture) is ignited with the help of a spark plug located on the cylinder head. The high pressure of the burnt gases forces the piston towards BDC. Both the valves are in closed position. Of the four strokes only during this stroke power is produced.

 Exhaust Stroke: At the end of power stroke the exhaust valve opens and the inlet valve remains closed. The piston move from BDC to TDC position which pushes the burnt gases outside the combustion chamber. Crankshaft rotates by two complete revolutions through 720.
