"Part Load" is short for partial load.

"Load" is when the engine is doing work. Whatever work the engine is doing places a "load" on the engine which resists the engine's turning motion and slows the engine down so it requires more throttle to maintain speed.

"Partial load" is when the engine is doing work that would stall the engine at idle, but does not require full throttle, just partial throttle.

A good example would be a car traveling at highway speed or up a slight grade.

When was internal combustion engine invented?

The internal combustion engine was invented in 1876 by German engineer Nikolaus August Otto. Otto's engine, commonly known as the "Otto engine," was the first successful four-stroke engine and revolutionized the way people think about and use engines. The internal combustion engine has since become a crucial technology for powering everything from cars and boats to generators and airplanes.


Is the crankshaft a internal combustion engin?

The crankshaft is part of a piston engine, which can be either an internal combustion engine (one that runs on gasoline, diesel, propane, natural gas or carbon monoxide) or an external combustion engine (a steam engine). The pistons are connected to the crankshaft through connecting rods. The pistons turn the crankshaft, which creates the rotating motion you bought the engine for.


In what part of an internal combustion engine is the gasoline mixed with air?

The gasoline is mixed with air in the intake manifold of the engine. The intake manifold acts as a passage for the air to flow into the engine cylinders, where it mixes with the fuel before combustion.
