Air-Intake-Exhaust || Internal Combustion Engine

Let's take a closer look at how air flows into the engine and exhaust exits, powering the vehicle. This is where the journey begins. During this stage, air enters the engine to mix with fuel and create combustion.
When the intake valve opens, air from the intake manifold enters the combustion chamber. The piston moves down, creating a low-pressure environment that draws air in. The mixture of air and fuel is critical; it determines the efficiency of the combustion process. After the intake valve closes, the compression stage begins, preparing the mixture for ignition.
Once the air-fuel mixture is compressed, a spark ignites it, causing combustion. This explosion drives the piston down, creating the power that moves the vehicle.
Now that the fuel has been burned, we need to remove the exhaust gases.
The exhaust process begins when the exhaust valve opens. The piston moves back up, pushing the burnt gases out of the cylinder through the exhaust manifold and eventually out of the exhaust pipe.
This cycle repeats thousands of times a minute while the engine runs, powering the vehicle and creating the exhaust. the air intake and exhaust processes work together in a continuous cycle. Fresh air enters, mixes with fuel, ignites, and releases energy. The waste gases then exit, allowing the engine to run smoothly and efficiently.
