Introduction: IC engines are widely used in the automobile, domestic, and industrial sectors. They are classified according to cycle, number of cylinders, arrangement of cylinders, fuel used, type of ignition, valve arrangement, and cooling system. Test rigs are used to determine an IC engine's performance. They consist of an IC engine, dynamometer, fuel measuring, air intake measuring, and various other arrangements. Provision for more test is made.
