What is the difference between a reciprocating internal combustion engine and compression ignition combustion engine?
Compression ignition is deisel. Otherwise, spark ignition is gasoline.
How are internal combustion engines?
you cut off the ignition spark in a petrol engine
How are internal combustion engines stopped?
you cut off the ignition spark in a petrol engine
Is a steam engine an example of an internal combustion engine?
No, the steam engine is an external combustion engine because the steam is heated by heat generated by combustion outside externally through heat transfer. A spark ignition engine is an example of an internal combustion engine.
What is the difference between combustion and detonation as in a internal combustion?
When the engine detonates its referring to the engine giving spark to the compressed air/fuel in the cylinder, when theres combustion its simply the explosion that happens after ignition.
What is the difference between detonation and knocking in ic engine?
Detonation involves a supersonic exothermic. Knocking in a engine is spark-ignition internal combustion.
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 are the advantages and disadvantages of spark ignition engine and combustion ignition engine?
what are the advantages and disadvantages of s.i engine
What are si and ci engines?
SI engine means Spark Ignition Engine where combustion products(air,fuel)are ignited in combustion chamber by means of spark from spark plug which is located on cylinder head..CI engine means Compression Ignition Engine,here combustion is take place by means of compression..
The source of thermal energy in an internal combustion engine?
The source of thermal energy in an internal combustion engine is from a combination of pressure (the piston compressing the air/fuel mixture), ignition of air/fuel mixture by spark plug (largest contributor), and friction of moving parts inside the engine.
What is SI engine and CI engine?
An SI engine is a spark ignition engine. A CI engine is a compression ignition engine. SI engines use spark plugs to ignite fuel in the combustion chamber. CI engines use compression in the combustion chamber to ignite the fuel.
In which step of the four stroke engine cycle does the spark plug initiate the combustion reaction?
Compression and ignition
