What are the necessary parameters for designing an IC engine?

AI Thread Summary
Designing an internal combustion (IC) engine requires consideration of various parameters, including the intended application, fuel type, and power requirements. The discussion emphasizes the importance of specificity in learning about engine design, as broad questions yield less useful answers. Recommended resources include attending engineering libraries and searching for specific topics online. A notable reference is "Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals" by John B. Heywood, which covers essential concepts for both Otto and Diesel engines. Engaging with targeted questions in forums can further enhance understanding of design details.

That will depend on the application of your IC engine.
Exactly what do you want to use the engine for?
 
automotives like cars

i am not specific about power sir,

i know about basic operation of an 4-stroke gasoline engine.
can i have some material to learn in depth about automotive engines
 
Thank you again sir
 
Since you have some knowledge of IC engines, it is a case of building on that knowledge.
We cannot name one general document unless you can be much more specific about your stage of learning.

I really think the best way to advance your interest is to attend an engineering library or to google search the particular topics that interest you now.

It is better to ask questions on PF about specific design details, rather than about broad generalities.

There is a book in the automotive industry commonly referred to as the "engine bible" call "Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals" by John B. Heywood. It is a great read, and it covers Otto cycle and Diesel engines. It is a common book for course work at universities and would likely be found in a university library. I hope this helps.
