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 are the chemical reactions in internal combustion engine?
Internal combustion engines usually use some kind of hydrocarbon fuel (gasoline for example). The fuel is burned together with the oxidizer (atmospheric air in most cases with the exception of rocket engines). The result of the chemical reaction between the hydrocarbon fuel and air is H2O, CO2 and, in smaller quantities (depending on the proportions in which the fuel and air are mixed into the combustion chamber), some radicals like CO, OH, O, H maybe even C solid particles (also known as soot). The process is not as simple as it is taught in high school chemistry as there's no single reaction leading from reactants to final products. There are many reactions leading from the decomposition of the gasoline and air molecules to the formation of the final products (all of this reactions form the reaction mechanism).

What is the rapid burning of fuels that takes place in engines is called?
The reaction between oxygen and another substance is called oxidation, such as the formation of rust. The rapid oxidation of fuel is called combustion.
The hot expanding gases generated by the combustion reaction in the engines are?
released through the back of the engine to propel it and the airplane foward

What are the types of combustion?
There are two main types of combustion. These are complete, in which the reactant burns in oxygen producing a few reactions, such as carbon dioxide and water. Incomplete combustion occurs when there is not enough oxygen to complete a reaction.
Are Gasoline engines and diesel engines external or internal combustion engines?
They are both internal combustion engines
How is heat utilised in the field of science and technology to do various work?
Most often by heating water into steam, or by expanding gasses (internal combustion engines).
Are both Gasoline and diesel engines classified as external combustion engines?
No, they are both internal combustion engines.
Which type of engine is classified as internal combustion?
Reciprocating engines (piston engines) are internal combustion engines. Rotary engines ( Wankel engine) is also an internal combustion engine. In general, all types of engines in which the combustion chamber is an integrating part of the engine is considered a internal combustion engine.
The combustion reactions that occur in the engines of a rocket lead to pressure gradients that cause the gaseous products to rush out of the rocket into the atmosphere. What is created by this process?
Thrust
What type of cars use internal combustion engines?
Gasoline and Diesel engines are internal combustion engines. The fuel explodes (combusts) internally (in the cylinder) and releases energy that is used to move the vehicle. Electric engines and steam engines are not internal combustion engines by definition. Steam engines combust their fuel externally to the "engine". The vast majority of passenger vehicles produced throughout history are driven by internal combustion engines.

Gas and diesel engines are what type of engines?
Internal combustion.
What are the disadvantages of internal combustion engines?
what is disadvantage of enternal combustion engine
