A turbine engine may have as few as one moving part that rotates in the same direction at all times, and generally, it is content to remain inside the engine housing. A piston engine (internal combustion engine - ICE) is not so inclined. Piston engines have more moving parts, most of which are trying to exit the engine block, and, under certain circumstances, actually DO leave the engine block. The high part count, high pressure, and tendency to tear itself apart give the ICE increased loads and lubrication challenges that require increased attention and lower TBO times that a turbine doesn't require.
It is used as a compressor. It has the same advantages over a piston compressor as a gas turbine engine has over a piston engine. i.e. no valves, much lower part count and much greater efficiency.
Increasing the pressure inside the piston cylinder would cause the piston to lower since the higher pressure pushes down on the piston.
A re-entrant type piston bowl is a design feature in internal combustion engines, particularly in diesel engines, where the piston has a bowl-shaped cavity that extends inward. This design promotes better turbulence and mixing of the fuel-air charge during combustion, enhancing efficiency and power output. The re-entrant shape helps to achieve more complete combustion, reducing emissions and improving engine performance. It is especially beneficial in modern engines that aim for higher efficiency and lower environmental impact.
Decreasing the pressure inside the container or increasing the weight on top of the piston would cause the freely moving piston to lower.
The difference is that geysers are way much hotter than the steam from hot springs. The geysers can give you 3rd degree burns. But so can the steam from hot springs if you're in there to long.
Jet engines offer several advantages, including high efficiency at cruising speeds, enabling faster travel over long distances. They produce a high thrust-to-weight ratio, allowing aircraft to achieve rapid acceleration and climb rates. Additionally, jet engines operate more quietly compared to piston engines, contributing to reduced noise pollution in urban areas. Their design also allows for greater reliability and lower maintenance costs in modern aviation.
A two-stroke engine is an internal combustion engine that completes a power cycle with two strokes of the piston, or one crankshaft revolution. Unlike four-stroke engines, which require four strokes of the piston to complete a cycle (intake, compression, power, and exhaust), two-stroke engines combine intake and compression into one stroke and power and exhaust into another. This design allows for a simpler and lighter engine with fewer moving parts, often resulting in higher power-to-weight ratios. However, two-stroke engines typically have lower fuel efficiency and higher emissions compared to their four-stroke counterparts.
A 4-stroke engine is an internal combustion engine that completes a power cycle in four distinct strokes of the piston: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. During the intake stroke, air and fuel enter the combustion chamber; in the compression stroke, the mixture is compressed; in the power stroke, the mixture ignites, driving the piston down; and finally, in the exhaust stroke, the burnt gases are expelled. This design is known for its efficiency, lower emissions, and smoother operation compared to 2-stroke engines.
The advantages of using 4-stroke fuel in engines include better fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and smoother operation compared to other types of fuel.

Spark Ignition (SI) engines offer several advantages, including smoother operation due to their ability to run on a variety of fuels, such as gasoline. They typically provide better fuel efficiency at lower engine speeds and are capable of producing higher power outputs for a given engine size compared to diesel engines. Additionally, SI engines tend to have lower emissions of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, making them more environmentally friendly. Their design also allows for easier maintenance and lower initial costs compared to some diesel alternatives.
The area on the turbine blade that contributes the most force due to low or negative pressure is the suction side, which is the curved side of the blade facing away from the direction of fluid flow. This side experiences lower pressure compared to the pressure side, resulting in a net force that drives the rotation of the turbine blade.
