Examples of external combustion engines:
1) wood-burning or coal burning steam-powered locomotives
2) coal and oil-fired boilers on steamships
3) Stanley Steamer, an early steam-powered motorcar
4) nuclear reactors

∙ 9y agoExamples of internal combustionengines:
- Gasoline engine in a car, where fuel-air mixture burns inside a cylinder and the expansion pushes a piston coupled to a crankshaft.
- Diesel engine works exactly as described above for a gasoline engine, except that the fuel requires no spark to ignite (and other differences in detail).
- Gas turbine engine in a jet or turboprop airplane or helicopter, where fuel-air mixture burns inside a turbine and the expansion pushes the turbine blades around.
Examples of external combustion engines:
- Old-fashioned steam piston engine where fuel heats water in a boiler, and the resulting steam is introduced into a cylinder where it pushes the piston coupled to a crankshaft.
- Steam turbine engine where fuel heats water in a boiler, and the resulting steam is introduced into a turbine where it pushes the turbine blades around.

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 difference between internal combustion engine and external combustion engine?
In an Internal Combustion Engine, the Fuel is burnt in the cylinder or vessel eg. Diesel or Petrol engine used in Cars.Gasoline engines, Wankel engines, diesels, gas turbines are all examples of internal combustion.In an External Combustion Engine, the internal working fuel is not burnt. 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.
Is a lawnmower an internal combustion engine?
If the lawnmower is not electric powered then is is probably operated by an internal combustion engine (petrol or diesel. Oddly enough, very early lawnmowers were steam powered, which means they were examples of external combustion engines.
Is the crankshaft a internal combustion engin?
The crankshaft is part of a piston engine, which can be either an internal combustion engine (one that runs on gasoline, diesel, propane, natural gas or carbon monoxide) or an external combustion engine (a steam engine). The pistons are connected to the crankshaft through connecting rods. The pistons turn the crankshaft, which creates the rotating motion you bought the engine for.
The waste products of combustion leave the internal combustion engine through the?
The waste products of combustion leave the internal combustion engine through the exhaust valve.
What is a steam engine an example of?
A train DUHHH! An external combustion engine.
In a external combustion engine the fuel is burned inside the cylinder?
no.. by definition the combustion is outside of the engine. a steam engine would be an example.
Is steam power plant is internal combustion or external combustion engine?
A steam engine is an external combustion 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 meant by the term external combustion engine?
A steam engine is a good example External combustion means the burning of fuel happens away from where the conversion to motion happens.
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 type of combustion engine is the steam engine?
It is External-combustion engine.
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.

What has an external combustion engine?
Some Swedish subs have Stirling engines which is external combustion.
Does a truck use an external or internal combustion engine.?
Internal combustion engine.
