Answer / syed waqas hashmi

hi Pushkar
Thanks for correcting me. But dont you think that power also
depends on combustion ? Think it practically, if most of the
fuel combust then it exerts more pressure on piston, and
more amount of power you get. This is what i am thinking.

Answer / mv

Because in a Petrol Engine (SI Engine), there is 1 power
stroke in every revolution of the crank shaft. But in a
diesel engine (CI Engine) there is 1 power stroke in every
2 revolutions of the crank shaft.
