How many gallons of air to burn a gallon of gas in an internal combustion engine?
14.7
What is the internal combustion engine needed for?
The internal combustion engine is used in almost everything that needs power or motive traction. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, ships, aircraft, and many other things use internal combustion engines. The internal combustion engine is needed to convert fuel chemical energy to rotational mechanical energy, which can now be used for many different applications.
What did the internal combustion engine lead to the development of?
The automotive industry was the net result of the internal combustion engine, because the engine addressed the deficiencies of external combustion engines for road vehicles. The steam engine was the precursor to gas-fired piston engines (1860s), and the invention of the diesel internal combustion engine by Rudolf Diesel, a German scientist, in 1897. An early gasoline engine was built by Wilhelm Maybach in 1890. To this day, the basic form of the engine remains the same, although with many innovations to improve performance and efficiency.
What did carl Benz invent?
He Invented the first affordable automobile and many components for the car, such as the internal combustion engine.
In what year were car engines invented?
Many different car engines have been invented. The first internal combustion engine was invented in 1807. It used a fuel of hydrogen and oxygen. In 1858 the first coal gas fueled internal combustion engine was invented. In 1864 a gasoline fueled engine was attached to a cart.
How many rotation complete in one second in ic engine?
Different internal combustion engines have different rotational speeds.
How many crankshafts in an internal combustion engine?
1 (One) crankshaft. There may be 1 or 2 camshafts but always 1 crankshaft.
Who was the German scientist of an internal combustion engine that could power large vehicles?
Rudolf Diesel invented the diesel engine which now powers many large vehicles
How many internal combustion engines are in operation today world wide?
All totaled, how many internal combustion engines are in operation today world wide?
How gas turbine work?
Gas turbine works with the use of many kinds of fuel to run a compressor. The compressor will bring the atmospheric air flows through its highest pressure and with the addition of fuel into the air it will ignite and then the combustion will generate a high-temperature flow.
How many pistons are in a 4 stroke internal combustion engine?
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.
How many different engine shapes are there?
It depends on the type of engine you are referring to.The basic configurations for an internal combustion engine are;Straight. All cylinders in line'V' engine. The cylinders are in two banks forming a 'V' shape.Opposed. The cylinders are horizontal with opposed pistons.Rotary. The combustion chambers are defined by the shape of the block and the rotor.
