no.. by definition the combustion is outside of the engine. a steam engine would be an example.

Difference between internal combustion engines and external combustion engines?
In an Internal Combustion Engine, the fuel is burned in the cylinder or vessel. Eg. Diesel or Petrol engine used in Cars.Internal engine has its energy ignited in the cylinder, like 99.9% of engines today.In an External Combustion Engine, the internal working fuel is not burned. Here the fluid is being heated from an external source. The fuel is heated and expanded through the internal mechanism of the engine resulting in work. Eg. Steam Turbine, Steam engine Trains. An external combustion example is a steam engine where the heating process is done in an boiler out side the engine.
What is the most important difference between and internal combustion engine and an external combustion engine?
in internal combustion engine combustion happens internally in cylinder and in external combustion engine combustion happens externally in boiler
What is the most important difference between an international combustion engine and an external combustion engine?
in internal combustion engine combustion happens internally in cylinder and in external combustion engine combustion happens externally in boiler
What is external combution engine?
External Combustion engine is an engine in which combustion of fuel takes place outside the cylinder. e.g.Coal fired steam engines in trains
Identify the source of thermal energy in an internal combustion engine?
In an internal combustion engine fuel is burned in a combustion chamber or cylinder inside the engine
How are internal and external combustion different?
In terms of engines, an external combustion engine such as a steam engine burns fuel outside of the pressure cylinder used to drive the piston. An internal combustion engine such as a petrol or diesel engine burns the fuel inside the pressure cylinder used to drive the piston.
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.
Is steam power plant is internal combustion or external combustion engine?
A steam engine is an external combustion engine.
Difference between internal combustion engines and steam engines?
Internal combustion engine is where the fuel is ignited in the cylinder to make the piston move, petrol or diesel. A steam engine has an external pressure vessel to supply the steam to the cylinder to push the piston. the is no combustion in the engine as such.
In a gasoline engine the area the cylinder head where the air -and - fuel mixture is burned is called the?
Combustion chamber
What is a steam engine an example of?
A train DUHHH! An external combustion engine.
In a gasoline engine the area in the cylinder head where the air and the fuel mixture is burned is called the?
The area is called the combustion chamber.
