The piston

The piston:

 

The piston is open at its lower base cylinder, closed at the top and attached to the rod at its intermediate portion. It is one of the basic elements of the internal combustion engine.
The piston movement is up and down inside the cylinder, compressing the mixture, the combustion pressure transmitted to the crankshaft via the connecting rod, forces the output of the gases resulting from the combustion in the exhaust stroke and produces a cylinder vacuum that "sucks" the mixture in the suction stroke.
The piston, which at first glance may seem the simplest pieces, has been and is one that has required further study. It should be light, so that there is only minimal inertia loads, but in turn must be sufficiently rigid and durable to withstand the heat and pressure developed within the combustion chamber l.
The piston resists a thrust during engine combustion cycle, so must have a high mechanical strength. Its temperature resistance is important, regardless of their contact with the combustion chamber.
From the logical point of view the pistons can distinguish two major parties, the skirt and the piston head.

The part of the piston head to look closely, to have at its upper end part that closes the piston, known as corona. In addition to the crown head also has grooves in them is where they settled the last anillos.Por in skirt hole for connecting to the rod, this hole is known as a passer as it actually is called pin any hole where usually passes another piece for clamping). The piston is simply serves to receive the thrust force received during the work cycle time commonly known as combustion. Its exact position is inside the cylinder engine, with its crown up and down the skirt latter connected with the rod through the pin.

 

how an internal combustion engine it works?

How an internal combustion engine it works?

1- The admission valve has open and enters fuel or diessel.

2- The piston has down with the mixture.

3- The piston compreses the mixture and the spark plug spark ago for the  mixture.

4- And the mixture explode and the valve of escapement has open to release gases out of motor.  

History of combustion engines.

Although various forms of internal combustion engines were developed before the 19th century, their use was hindered until the commercial drilling and production of petroleum began in the mid-1850s. By the late 19th century, engineering advances led to their widespread adoption in a variety of applications.

What are combustion engines?

 What are combustion engines?

An internal combustion engine, is a heat engine where the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer [usually air] in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit.
