What is a combustion engine best used for?
The most popular combustion engine is the internal combustion engine. It is used most often in spark ignition engines such as cars or lawn mowers. Diesel combustion engines are generally large trucks and construction vehicles.
What is the best synonym for blaze?
combust or combustion
Which best explains the importance of the internal combustion engine to the transportation industyr?
The importance of the Internal Combustion Engine to the transportation industry is best explained by the role it has played in providing propulsion in vehicles. The ICE is applied in almost all types of vehicles including cars, boats and aircraft.
What is an engines best working temperature?
In most cases it is 195-205 degrees F. This is the temperature at which an internal combustion engine performs it's best. And the faster the engine reaches this temperature the better.
Which best explains the importance of the internal combustion engine to the transportation industry?
Nova Net Answer: It made the development of cars, trucks and airplanes possible.
How a gear shifter works in an engine?
It doesn't ... it works with the transmission. It's required because the internal combustion engine works best at a fixed speed ... whereas you want the wheel speed to change frequently.
Which type of motor is used in a ceiling fan?
Stealing things is best done with an internal combustion engine. <<>> A single-phase induction motor is used in ceiling fans.
Why are internal combustion engines bad for the environment?
First I want to say that I love cars. I love to drive them, hot rod them, race them etc. However the internal combustion engine is a Gross Polluter. Even the best ones only manage to burn a small percentage of their fuel and what is left pollutes the environment by dirtying the air we breath. And when the particulates settle back to earth, it pollutes the water we drink. The next problem with the internal combustion engine is the fluids that keep the machine lubricated and cooled are themselves toxic and after the engine is through with them they become even more poisonous. And disposal of these toxic fluids becomes a problem.
How do cars run?
Most vehicles use an internal combustion engine powered by gasoline, ethanol, diesel, or propane. Some vehicles are electric driven by an electric motor powered by batteries. And there are hybrids that rely on both internal combustion and electricity. In the early days of automobiles there were vehicles powered by steam which burned wood or coal.Internal Combustion Engine.a car needs 3 main things to run (petrol engine only); compression, fuel and air. with out these the car will not run properly. depending on the car engines size will determine how many pistons you have. if your car is 4 cyl then you will have 4 pistons. The piston will start up in position when the key is turned over the piston is pushed down opening the air inlet valve bringing in air from outside, when the piston goes down it will fill with air. then the piston will come back up, (building compression) when the piston gets to a certain point the compression will push the piston back down when it hits the bottom it will ignite the spark plug. with the force behind that the exhaust valve will open and push the air and fuels out the exhaust pipe. if you have any more enquiries email- rhys_purkis@hotmail.com for more information.The purpose of a gasoline car engine is to convert gasoline into motion so that your car can move. Currently the easiest way to create motion from gasoline is to burn the gasoline inside an engine. Therefore, a car engine is an internal combustion engine -- combustion takes place internally.Two things to note:There are different kinds of internal combustion engines. Diesel engines are one form and gas turbine engines are another. See also the articles on HEMI engines, rotary engines and two-stroke engines. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.There is such a thing as an external combustion engine. A steam engine in old-fashioned trains and steam boats is the best example of an external combustion engine. The fuel (coal, wood, oil, whatever) in a steam engine burns outside the engine to create steam, and the steam creates motion inside the engine. Internal combustion is a lot more efficient (takes less fuel per mile) than external combustion, plus an internal combustion engine is a lot smaller than an equivalent external combustion engine. This explains why we don't see any cars from Ford and GM using steam engines.A car runs by gas powering a motor. There are also cars that run from electricity and even vegetable oil.
What kind of engine does a Corvette have?
The best answer I can give you is an ICE or Internal Combustion Engine. As for size you must be way more specific. Corvettes graced the streets with almost everything from a straight 6 cylinder in 1953 up to and including a big block 454 in 1972. 350 is common though.
What effects did the internal combustion engine have on transportation?
The Internal Combustion Engine was a extreme improvement of the best engine of its time, the steam engine. The internal combustion engine was smaller and far more powerful for its size. Since the discovery of SpindleTop, which produced massive amounts of oil, a source of fuel was freely available for the new engine. Since the extreme amount of oil was found, oil prices dropped, the internal combustion engine became more practical, and cheaper than a steam engine, which used Coal instead of oil, which back then was extremely cheap. The thing about oil is that oil is also cleaner than coal, and is easier to transport. After Spindle Top Oil Barrels cost about 4 cents, a Barrel contains 31 gallons of oil, which is about 3/5 of the Gas Tank of a Dodge Ram (52 Gallons).
Which engine is best for an aircraft?
It totally depends on what you are using the aircraft for. Sometimes you need power over fuel efficiency, sometimes you need fuel efficiency over power. It is dependent on the situation where the engine will be used. Some engine examples; Piston props (radial and v engine), internal combustion props, turboprops, turbofans, axial turbojets, centrifugal turbojets, ramjets and scramjets.
