What is the difference of a nacellel and a cowling on an aircraft engine?

Tough question. The terms are often used interchangeably, but I would say that a nacelle refers more to the protective housing that encases the engine, while a cowling is used at the front of the engine both for protection (as a nacelle) and also to streamline and direct airflow.

How does an aircraft reciprocating engine works?
A 'reciprocating engine' is just another name for a piston engine as opposed to a jet. Technically, the engine works just like the one in your car, with a piston moving in and out of a cylinder. The difference may be that the aircraft engine may have it's cylinders arranged in a circle ( radial engine) but the action is just the same.
