A two-stroke diesel engine is a type of internal combustion engine that completes its power cycle in two strokes of the piston (one upstroke and one downstroke) during each combustion cycle. Here's a brief overview of how it works:Intake Stroke: During the first stroke (downstroke), the piston moves down the cylinder, and the intake valve opens. Air is drawn into the cylinder as the piston descends.Compression Stroke: As the piston begins to move back up the cylinder, both the intake and exhaust valves close. The air trapped in the cylinder is compressed, raising its temperature and pressure.Power Stroke: At the top of the compression stroke, fuel is injected directly into the highly compressed air. The heat from compression causes the fuel to ignite spontaneously. This explosion forces the piston back down the cylinder, creating mechanical work that powers the engine.Exhaust Stroke: Finally, as the piston moves back up the cylinder again, the exhaust valve opens, and the burned gases are expelled from the cylinder.The main advantage of two-stroke diesel engines is their simplicity and higher power-to-weight ratio compared to four-stroke engines. They are often used
