The source of thermal energy in an internal combustion engine?

The source of thermal energy in an internal combustion engine is from the combustion of fuel (such as gasoline or diesel) inside the engine cylinders. The controlled explosion of the fuel-air mixture generates heat energy that is converted into mechanical energy to power the vehicle.


What source of energy does an internal combustion engine use steam hot water burning fuel or refrigerant?

Burning fuel.Burning fuel.Burning fuel.Burning fuel.


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.


Difference between internal combustion engines and external combustion engines?

Internal combustion engines burn fuel inside the engine to generate power, while external combustion engines burn fuel outside the engine and use the resulting heat to create power, such as in steam engines. Internal combustion engines are more common in vehicles due to their compact size and efficiency, while external combustion engines are used in specific applications like power plants and some marine propulsion systems.


When was the internal combustion engine first invented?

The first device that could be called a prototype of the internal combustion engine was invented in the fifth century, in the form of Roman machines used in sawmills. In the seventeenth century, this idea was expanded upon with the addition of gunpowder as a power source. Internal combustion engine development accelerated in the late 19th century, and they were widespread by the 1900s.


Can water be used as fuel in internal combustion engine?

No, water cannot be used as a direct fuel in an internal combustion engine. However, water can be used in a process called electrolysis to produce hydrogen, which can then be used as a fuel source in internal combustion engines.


What would cause the engine to shut off?

An internal combustion engine needs fuel, oxygen, and an ignition source. If any are missing, it would stop running.


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)
