                            Parts of an Internal Combustion (IC) engine:📌📌
*Major Components:*
1. Cylinders: Where fuel is burned to produce power.
2. Pistons: Move up and down in cylinders, driven by explosive force.
3. Crankshaft: Converts reciprocating motion of pistons into rotary motion.
4. Camshaft: Operates valves that allow air-fuel mixture in and exhaust gases out.
5. Valves: Control flow of air-fuel mixture and exhaust gases.
6. Engine Block: Houses cylinders, pistons, and crankshaft.
7. Cylinder Head: Sits on top of engine block, contains valves and spark plugs.
📌Supporting Components💯
1. Timing Belt or Chain: Synchronizes crankshaft and camshaft rotation.
2. Oil Pump: Circulates engine oil for lubrication.
3. Water Pump: Circulates coolant for temperature regulation.
4. Spark Plugs: Ignite air-fuel mixture in cylinders (in petrol engines).
5. Fuel Injectors: Spray fuel into cylinders (in diesel engines).
6. Piston Rings: Seal gaps between pistons and cylinders.
7. Connecting Rods: Link pistons to crankshaft.
📌Accessory Components📌
1. Alternator: Generates electricity for vehicle's electrical systems.
2. Starter Motor: Turns engine over during starting.
3. Air Filter: Cleans air entering engine.
4. Fuel Filter: Cleans fuel entering engine.
5. Exhaust System: Directs exhaust gases away from vehicle.
These parts work together to convert chemical energy from fuel into mechanical energy, powering your vehicle!
