Internal combustion engines and external combustion engines both convert fuel into mechanical energy through combustion. In both types, the combustion process generates heat, which is then used to produce work, typically by moving a piston or rotating a turbine. They also share similar components, such as cylinders, valves, and fuel delivery systems, although their operational processes differ in where combustion occurs. Ultimately, both types aim to harness energy from fuel for various applications like powering vehicles or machinery.

What were planes powered by before jet engines?

Propeller driven piston internal combustion engines. Similar to the one in your car, except planes usually used either radial or rotary engines, both of which have the cylinders arranged in a circle and typically have a multiple of 9 cylinders.

What is naturally aspirated?

An internal combustion engine which draws in air for combustion without aid of turbo charger or similar, is said to be naturally aspirated.


Why were jet engines better than propeller driven engines?

Jet powered aircraft have a number of advantages over conventional internal combustion propeller driven aircraft. To start with, jet engines can operate in a much wider range of conditions. Propellers lose their effectiveness at high altitudes and at high speeds while jet engines are capable of operating at much higher altitudes and a much much higher speeds with little or no loss of power. Jet engines have fewer moving parts than internal combustion engines which makes them easier and simpler to design, build, maintain and repair. Jet engines run on fuel that is very similar to diesel fuel, and is much safer to handle and store than gasoline. Jet engines can produce much more thrust power for their weight than conventional reciprocating engines do.

Is gasoline a pure or substance or a mixture?

Gasoline (also called petrol) is a mixture of many different complex hydrocarbon molecules that have a roughly similar boiling point. Commercial gasoline also has other substances added to it to improve its performance in internal combustion engines, or to reduce the pollution resulting from its use in those engines.,


What exactly is known as a Vortec Max?

What are the external and internal parts of carabao?

Carabao is a domestic water buffalo native to the Philippines. Its internal and external parts are similar to any large animal's. It has hair, skin, horns and such on the outside, and blood, bones and organs on the inside.


Is the dolphin internal or external?

Dolphins are internal, as they are mammals that possess internal organs and systems, including lungs for breathing air and a complex brain. They give live birth and nurse their young with milk, similar to other mammals. Their anatomy is adapted for life in the water, but they are not external like some aquatic animals that have external gills or other structures.


What engine is in widespread use as the source of power for helicopters it is linked by gears to the helicopter's rotors in a manner similar to the turbine-driven propellers on airplanes?

They're powered either by a gas turbine engine (known as a turboshaft), or some helicopters (such as the Robinson helicopters) still use internal combustion engines.


Compare the relative sizes of the external and internal jugular veins of the fetal pig with those of the human.?

The relative sizes of the external and internal jugular veins of a fetal pig and a fetal human are relatively the same size. This finding is similar in all mammals.


How does hydrogen engine work?

A hydrogen engine works by combusting hydrogen fuel with oxygen to generate power, similar to a traditional internal combustion engine. Hydrogen gas is injected into the engine where it mixes with air and ignites to create energy that moves the pistons. The byproduct of this process is water vapor, making it a clean and environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuel combustion engines.
