Depends on the type of engine, number of cylinders and whether it's a two or four stroke. Most car (4 to 8 cylinder) petrol engines run in the order of 145-190 psi. (pounds per square inch).Diesel engines run far greater pressure due to the design of the engines. Hope this helps

What is the role of the boost gauge in an internal combustion engine?

A boost gauge in an internal combustion engine has the role of a pressure gauge. The gauge indicates the manifold's air pressure or a turbocharger or supercharger's boost pressure.


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.

what is a heater an internal combustion engine or a external combustion engine?

A heater can be either an internal combustion engine or an external combustion engine, depending on its design and operation. Internal combustion engines generate heat through the combustion of fuel within the engine itself, while external combustion engines produce heat by burning fuel outside the engine to heat a working fluid. Common examples of heaters include furnaces (external combustion) and car engines (internal combustion). The specific classification depends on how and where the combustion occurs in relation to the heat-producing mechanism.


How you can now if the engine is internal combustion or external combustion while it is not working?

By looking at the build of it. If it's a gas turbine, jet engine, ramjet, or rocket motor, then it's not internal combustion. If it uses pistons in enclosed cylinders, then the combustion occurs internally, within the engine housing. Hence, that would be an internal combustion motor. a reciprocating steam engine is external combustion even though it has enclosed cylinders

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.


Difference between internal combustion engines and steam engines?

Internal combustion engine is where the fuel is ignited in the cylinder to make the piston move, petrol or diesel. A steam engine has an external pressure vessel to supply the steam to the cylinder to push the piston. the is no combustion in the engine as such.
