Comparison between two stroke and four
stroke engines
FOUR stroke Engine
CHARACTERISTICS (compared with 2 stroke engines)
FOUR STROKE ENGINES LASTS LONGER THAN TWO STROKE ENGINES . The
lack of a dedicated lubrication system means that the parts of a two-stroke engine
wear a lot faster.
FOUR STROKE ENGINES DON’T BURN OIL IN COMBUSTION CHAMBER . Two-
stroke oil is expensive, and you need about 113.36 grams of it per gallon of gas. You
would burn about a gallon of oil every 1,000 miles if you used a two-stroke engine in
a car.
FOUR STROKE ENGINES ARE MORE FUEL EFFICIENT . Two-stroke engines do
not use fuel efficiently, so you would get fewer miles per gallon.
FOUR STROKE ENGINES ARE CLEANER . Two-stroke engines produce a lot of
pollution
INVERTED FLIGHTS MAY NOT BE EASY IN FOUR STROKE ENGINES. Two-
stroke engines can work in any orientation, which can be important in acrobatic
flights. A standard four-stroke engine may have problems with oil flow unless it is
upright, and solving this problem can add complexity to the engine.

Advantages of Two-stroke Engines
Advantages(over 4-stroke Engines)
•Power developed nearly twice compared
•Work required to overcome the friction of the exhaust and
suction strokes is saved.
•More uniform turning moment -lighter flywheel
•Engines lighter & occupy less space
•Construction is simple -reduces maintenance problems
•Because of scavenging, burnt gases do not remain in the
clearance space as in case of four-stroke engines.

Comparison of Two-stroke
CI And SI Engines
•2-stroke SI engine suffers from
-fuel loss& idling difficulty.
-fuel loss & hence low indicated thermal efficiency
-(SI) More Dilution, Short Circuit, Back Firing at low
speeds, less air available for combustion after
scavenging
-Fuel injection (CI) improves idling, avoids loss of
fuel and also eliminates backfiring as there is no fuel
present in the inlet system.

SI Engine Advantages
The SI engine offers the following
advantages
•Low initial cost.
•Low weight for a given power output.
•Smaller size for a given power output.
•Easy starting.
•Less noise.
•Less objectionable exhaust gas odor and less
smoke.
