What type of engine burns fuel inside the engine?
An internal combustion engine burns fuel inside.
What is an engine that burns fuel in a chamber inside the engine?
Internal combustion engine
How lava burns?
Lava is called magma inside the volcano and it is just melted rock.
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.
The process by which engine fuels burn?
The process by which an engine burns fuel is called combustion. High pressure and a spark is used to ignite the fuel and generate power.
Why is an internal combustionengine rather than an external combustion engine?
The external combustion engine ( a steam engine is a good example) burns it fuel to create an energy source that is then transported (piped) to a device to create mechanical motion. The internal combustion engine burns its fuel inside the device creating the mechanical motion (piston car engines and Aircraft jet engines are two examples)
What exactly does Boeing engine do?
it burns the fuel
Why is diesel is an internal combustion engine?
When air is compressed it becomes hot. A diesel engine compresses air and fuel in a cylinder. The mixture burns and pushes down the piston. It is called an internal combustion engine because engines that work by burning fuel inside a cylinder and pushing down a piston are called internal combustion engines. Steam engines are external combustion engines. The fire burns and heats water in a boiler. The water turns to steam and either drives pistons like in a steam locomotive or in a turbine. Gas turbines could technically be called internal combustion but are not. One turbine compresses the gas. The gas burns under pressure in a combustion chamber and turns another turbine. Jet planes and a number of electric generators use gas turbines.
What is Robert Burns cottage called?

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 it a chemical change when gas in an engine burns?
Yes.
Gasoline engine convert chemical energy into kinetic energy. true or false?
A gasoline engine converts chemical energy into mechanical energy.
