What else can I help you with?
A steam engine is an example of an internal combustion engine?
Yes sir sure is!
What were the first automobiles powered by?
They were powered by steam engines.
Is steam power plant is internal combustion or external combustion engine?
A steam engine is an external combustion engine.
Difference between diesel engine and old steam engine?
The main difference between a diesel and a steam engine is the diesel engine is an internal combustion and the steam engine is external combustion.
What invention led to the invention of internal combustion engine?
The steam engine
Comparison between internal combustion engines and external combustion engines?
Internal engine has its energy ignited in the cylinder. like 99.9% of engines today An external combustion example is a steam engine where the heating prosses is done in an boiler out side the engine.
What are the different between the watt steam engine and the internal combustion engine?
They are completely different engines; however, the most fundamental difference is that the Watt steam engine runs on steam, whereas the internal combustion engine runs on fuel oil.
What type of engine were in use before the internal combustion engine?
The external combustion engine, like in a steam train.
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.
What is the difference between an external combustion engine and internal combustion engine?
An external combustion engine is where something is burning outside of the actual engine and the energy is transmitted to the engine via something. (e.g. boiler creates steam that goes to the engine a.k.a. steam engine) In an internal combustion engine, the burning happens in the actual cylinders of the engine. (e.g. car engine)
What is a steam engine an example of?
A train DUHHH! An external combustion engine.
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.
