Analysis of Six Stroke in an Internal Combustion Engine
Abstract: In the present time, increasing use of auto-vehicles requires more need of fuel and eventually it produces more emissions. But fuel and natural resources are limited in amount. So the aim is to reduce the emissions and fuel consumption in the engines. In that case, six-stroke engine is the great solution. Six-stroke engine is the modified form of four stroke engine. It contains two additional strokes (power stroke by air, …

TurbochargedTwo-Stroke SI Engine as Back-up Range Extender for Battery Electric Vehicles
Abstract: Installation studies indicates that a compact single-cylinder two stroke Spark Ignited (SI)-engine with a swept volume of 400-500 cc is small enough to install in the heavy-duty Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) application considered here. Four-stroke engines of similar power to the two-stroke engine would need additional installation volume because of the larger cylinder heads, bulky oil pans and the need for more cylinders to create the same number of power-pulses …
