the internal combustion engine works by converting chemical energy (fuel) into heat energy. the heat energy then expands the compressed air to drive the piston down. typically a third of this heat goes straight out of the exhaust, which is why the exhaust gets hot. another third of the heat is absorbed into the engine, hence the need for a cooling system which means that only a third of the heat generated is used to drive the psiton down making the internal combustion engine only about 33% efficient. robb
Air standard efficiency is a measure of how efficiently an internal combustion engine converts the heat of fuel combustion into work output. It is expressed as the ratio of the network output of the engine to the heat input from the fuel, assuming idealized processes and constant specific heat. It provides a theoretical maximum efficiency for the engine design.
a gasoline engine is an Internal combustion engine
Internal combustion engine.
and internal combustion engine and a gasoline engine are the same thing.
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.
in internal combustion engine combustion happens internally in cylinder and in external combustion engine combustion happens externally in boiler
No, Rudolph Diesel did not invent the internal combustion engine; he is best known for developing the diesel engine, which is a type of internal combustion engine that operates using diesel fuel. The concept of the internal combustion engine predates Diesel, with early designs emerging in the 19th century, including those by inventors like Nikolaus Otto and Georges Brayton. Diesel's contribution was significant in improving engine efficiency and performance, particularly for heavy-duty applications.

The four-stroke engine used in automobiles is an example of an internal combustion engine.
In an internal combustion engine fuel is burned in a combustion chamber or cylinder inside the engine
The internal combustion engine give rise to the auto industry.
