[ "Do You Know Your Engine?Are you one of those who love cars and love driving too? Then you must marvel at the mechanism of the vehicle for sure. Most alluring is the fact that the whole massive automobile banks on a little but powerful part, the engine. Engine turns out to be a small package with extraordinary power.How it works?You may or may not be aware of the working process of the engine. But if you want to know about it, then you are at the right place.A car engine is responsible for the conversion of heat energy into mechanical energy. Yes, the gasoline that you fill your car with gets burned up making heat energy and start the process of energy conversion. So basically when you start the ignition, this is what happens:; ; ; The internal-combustion engine starts to produce the heat energy by burning the gasoline; ; ; Then it converts it into mechanical energy for the torque; ; ; This torque is then used to make the wheels work and thus the car starts moving.While it works, the pistons of the engine are always moving up and down within the metallic cylinders. These pistons being connected to the crankshaft with rods are responsible for the movement of the engines crankshaft leading to the wheels movement.Other than the number of cylinders in the engine, everything else is the same for most of the cars of this century. All of them work in this process only. Have to agree that this whole process happening within split seconds is absolutely mind-blowing. Your engine is the one making all that sound when at work. This is something that you need to bear as it does enough to ease your life by running your car.Source of power!You will be surprised to know how the engine gathers its power to work. Explosions! Can you imagine? Thousands of small and under-control explosions generate the power for the pistons to move and start the process. The mixing of the fuel with oxygen and igniting it leads to such tiny explosions. This is how combustion stroke happens. Now other than this one, there are three more strokes that are involved in generating power. They are intake, compression and definitely the exhaust. Isnt it getting more and more interesting at every juncture?;Speaking of the first stroke among the three remaining strokes, it is the intake stroke which is when the valves open to intake air using the engines intake system. The intake valves closes once the piston hits the bottom of the stroke, paving the way to the compression stroke.The other two strokes are not that difficult to understand as the first one. Compression stroke is when after intake, the gasoline enters into the engine and ignition occurs. Then the combustion stroke takes place as is already explained before.The combustion stroke generates enough smoke in the process and so exhaustion is very important The exhaust valves open after the combustion is over, and the fumes are pumped out of the automobile.This is how your car moves successfully. So anything goes wrong with the engine means it is serious. For engine diagnostics Aston we are ready to help you at the Smart MOT & Service" ]
