Criteria S.I. Engine (Petrol or Spark Ignition Engine) C.I. Engine (Diesel or Compression Ignition Engine) Working Cycle Works on Otto Cycle or Constant Volume Cycle. Works on Diesel Cycle. Mixture During Suction Stroke Takes a mixture of air and petrol during the suction stroke. Takes only air during the suction stroke. Fuel Used Uses petrol as fuel. Uses diesel as fuel. Compression Ratio Has a compression ratio that varies from 6 to 10. Has a compression ratio that varies from 16 to 20. Engine Weight and Cost S.I. engines are lighter and cheaper. C.I. engines are heavier and costlier. Initial Cost Initial cost is lower compared to C.I. engines. Initial cost is high due to high compression ratio. Starting Starting is easy. Starting is difficult, especially in cold conditions. ...
Derives may be classified into following two ways:- A.) ACCORDING TO PLACEMENT OF STEERING:- two types 1.) Right Hand Drive - in this , the steering wheel is fitted towards the right side of vehicle. Example :- This type of derive is only found in foreign countries. 2.) Left Hand Drive - in this , the steering wheel is fitted towards the left side of vehicle. Example:- This system used in India. B.) ACCORDING TO DRIVING WHEELS :- 4 1.) Front wheel Drive - In this system, the power of the engine is transmitted to front axle which drives front wheel. Advantage • No need propeller shaft. • simplified linkage are required for clutch and gear box. • The vehicle is safe against skidding. Disadvantages • Mechanism is kind of complicated. because front wheel also steer the vehicle. • It is preferable while going uphill. • The steering is heavy because all the load is at the front. 2.) Rear wheel Drive - in this system, the power of the engine is transmitted to...
