A four stroke internal combustion engine can have any number of pistons, from one to one million. They usually have even numbers in order to maintain engine stability.
The "four stroke internal combustion" signifies the type of engine. There are two stroke internal combustion engines, mostly one or two cylinder engines used in lawn mowers. An internal combustion engine is one that ignites an air fuel mixture within itself and uses the resulting explosion for power. There are external combustion engines, which are usually powered by steam heated in a separate container and pumped into the engine.
Four stoke engine utilize a four step (or stroke) process in order to run. The steps are the intake stroke, where the engine breaths in air and fuel, the compression stroke, where it squeezes the air and fuel, the power stroke, where it ignites the air fuel mixture, and finally the exhaust stroke, where it pushes the remains of the ignition out. See the attached link for a graphic description of how two and four stoke engines work.

What you mean by Stroke in internal-combustion?
A stroke in an internal combustion engine is when a piston moves up or down.
Why two stroke engine is preferred in the LNG ships despite its inefficenty compared to four stroke engine?
Size.
Can you put mixed gas in a lawnmower?
Do you mean "mixed gas" as in oil/gas mixture? Then unless it calls for it then the answer is no. If you do and it is a normal 4 stroke engine then it will cause excessive smoking and will eventually foul the carburetor and combustion chamber up. Good luck.
What is an ottoman cycle?
the four stroke engine cycle
How did Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben die?
The Baron von Steuben died in 1794 of an apparent stroke or internal haemorrhaging.
What you mean by Stroke in internal-combustion?
A stroke in an internal combustion engine is when a piston moves up or down.
What engine is an example of an internal combustion engine?
The four-stroke engine used in automobiles is an example of an internal combustion engine.
In which step of the four-stroke engine cycle does the heat from the combustion reaction causes the pistons to move?
combustion and expansion
In which step of the four stroke engine cycle does the heat from the combustion reaction cause the pistons to move?
combustion and expansion
In which step of the four-stroke engine cycle does the heat from the combustion reaction cause the pistons to move?
combustion and expansion
How does a two stroke engine combine the four strokes of a typical internal combustion engine?
A two stroke engine combines the four strokes of a typical internal combustion engine into two strokes instead of four.
Can a single stroke ic engine can be designed?
Yes. It is the rocket engine. It has internal combustion and it has only one "stroke"
How many kinds of Internal combustion engine?
3 : 4 stroke : 2 stroke and: Diesel :)
Flywheel in internal-combustion engine?
The flywheel in an engine stores the energy given to it by the moving pistons and smooths the rotation. In single cylinder engines the power stroke of the piston would cease immediately if it were not for the flywheel continuing the exhaust stroke to rid the cylinder of the spent gases.
Who made the internal combustion engine?
If you mean who made the first combustion engine, i have no idea, but the first Four-Stroke engine was made by Nikolaus Otto.
How important is combustion in an internal combustion engine?
The combustion stroke is where all of the power from an engine is derived making it the most important however the other strokes play a role in how well the combustion process is completed. Each stroke is vital in the process of combustion.
What is the amount of gaseous fuel needed for a single stroke in an internal combustion engine?
depends on the cc of the combustion chamber
