Design an SI engine to operate on a six-stroke cycle. The first four strokes of the cycle are the same as a four-stroke Otto cycle. This is followed with an additional air-only intake stroke and an air-only exhaust stroke. Draw simple schematics, and explain the speed and operation of the camshafts when the valves open and close. Also, explain the control of the ignition process.

Q54;

Design a mechanical linkage system for a four-stroke cycle, reciprocating SI engine to operate on the Atkinson cycle (i.e., normal compression stroke and a power stroke which expands until cylinder pressure equals ambient pressure). Explain using simple schematic drawings.
