A REVIEW ON SIX STROKE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Keywords:
Six Stroke Engine, Four Stroke Engine, efficiency, Otto Cycle, fuel consumptionAbstract
The prime motive of this paper is to review the Six Stroke Engine, its working, advantages and limitations.
This engine has two power strokes out of six strokes. The extra two strokes together produce usable power from waste
heat. As there is 2/3 power stroke per revolution as compared to 1/2 power stroke of the 4 stroke engine. The power
obtained is higher with higher thermal efficiency. There is alsoa reduction in fuel consumption and pollution to the
environment. Nowadays, lots of efforts are being made in the engine technology to increase the engine thermal efficiency
without any compromise with performance which is the most difficult challenge. The automobile industry is now in need
for a more fuel efficient technique and the Six Stroke Engine may be the counterpart with good design compatibility
