What is a type of internal combustion engine?
An internal combustion engine is an engine where the fuel combustion happens inside a combustion chamber. There are both Reciprocating and Rotary engines that fall into this category. Most cars on the road today use internal combustion engines. An example would be the V-8 Hemi engines that Dodge puts in their trucks.
Comparison between internal combustion engines and external combustion engines?
Internal engine has its energy ignited in the cylinder. like 99.9% of engines today An external combustion example is a steam engine where the heating prosses is done in an boiler out side the engine.
What runs train engines?
Train engines today are usually powered by diesel fuel, which is burned in conventional internal combustion diesel engines, which turn electric generators, which produce electricity that is used to drive electric motors that drive the wheels.
What type of engines do cars use today?
The same internal combustion engines cars were first made with, but with added computerized technology to improve efficiency. There is some controversy as to why development of the evidently more efficient orbital engine ceased after a patent agreement.
What does an internal combustion engine run on?
an internal combustion engine means the source for ignition burns internally so the power gets soon without any loss. an external combustion means the source of ignition was outside so there was loss so less efficiency. an internal combustion engine means the source for ignition burns internally so the power gets soon without any loss. an external combustion means the source of ignition was outside so there was loss so less efficiency.
Can you make an engine in which you use alcohol on the place of petrol?
Yes. Many internal combustion engines today can and do run perfectly well on 85% alcohol and require just slight modification to run on 100% alcohol.
What kind of engine do most cars use today?
Most cars today use the internal combustion engine.
What kinds of engines powered automobiles in the early 1900s?
There were gasoline and diesel engines, as today, but also some early steam engines (external combustion), notably the Stanley Steamer (1902-1924).
What kind of engine do most cars use?
Most cars today use the internal combustion engine.
In a car with fuel injection during which stroke does fuel enter the cylinders?
Number 1, the intake stroke. Weather it is fuel injected or has a carburetor makes no difference. Most internal combustion engines today are 4 stroke engines. The four strokes refer to intake, compression, combustion and exhaust strokes that occur during two crankshaft rotations per working cycle of Otto Cycle and Diesel engines. The four steps in this cycle are often informally referred to as "suck, squeeze (or squash), bang, blow." Intake stroke
How is the 1800 car and the2000s car are alike?
In the 1800s, electric vehicles dominated the market and today cars are mainly powered by internal combustion engines (ICE). Obviously over the years the automobile has been improved upon considerably in terms of performance, reliability, safety, and efficiency.
What is a Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engine?
That is your standard gasoline engine found in most cars today. Fuel/air mixture is ignited by a timed spark, controlled combustion creates power.
