Gas turbine engines, including jet engines, have a capacitor discharge ignition system using one or more ignitor plugs, which are only used at startup or in case the combustor(s) flame goes out.

Ignition system of piston engines use spark plugs, distributor, coil and a battery.

What is the difference between a Gas turbine engine ignition system and a piston engine ignition system?

Main difference is that in a gas turbine, combustion is continuous. In a piston engine, combustion is pulsed.

Is there any difference between piston rings of naturally aspirated engine and turbo charge engine?

YES!!!!! As well as the pistons!


What is the difference between a 3.7L engine and a 3.5L engine?

The 3.7L has more cc's and slightly bigger cylinders with piston heads than the 3.5L.


Is there any difference between piston rings of naturally aspirated engine and turbo charge engin?

Yes, the material, thickness and possibly style of piston ring(top ring) can be different.


What is clearance volume of engine?

The volume between the engine head and piston when the piston is in the head dead center piston R - is expressed in cubic inches


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.


The difference between a single-acting and an opposed piston engine?

An opposed piston engine is a single-acting engine. All modern gasoline and diesel engines are single-acting. The single-acting engine receives force on one side of the piston, and relies on the engine to push the piston back the other way. On an opposed engine like a Continental or Lycoming, the piston on the other side of the engine will do the pushing. A double-acting engine, which almost always means a steam engine, receives force on both sides of the piston. Since they run horizontally, when the piston is to the right the engine will send steam to push it to the left and when it's to the left the engine will send steam to push it to the right. A slide valve decides which side of the piston the steam will go to.


Difference bet ween a 150 cc and 180 cc engine?

The difference is that the piston displaces 30cc less in the 150cc engine.


How do you check the engine pistons of a 1998 Saturn SL1?

The only way to "check" a piston would be to remove it and visually inspect for damage and wear.Make certain that the piston is not cracked or otherwise damaged.check the ring grooves. Use a piston ring and a set of feeler gauges to determine the amount of wear. Excessive ring groove wear can result in piston failure and if the piston shatters, it can cause the engine to fail completely.Next, use a micrometer to determine the difference in the diameter of the piston between the top and bottom. The piston will wear and if the difference between the top and bottom is too great, the engine will exhibit "piston slap".Check the fit of the wrist pin, it should be tight.HOWEVERYou can run a compression test and get a good idea whether the piston is functioning somewhat correctly.


What is the difference between a standard and a stroker engine?

Simply stated the difference is that a Stroker engine has greater than stock displacement due to an increase in the factory crank throw. An increase in crank throw increases stroke (the difference between the piston's top dead center and bottom dead center position).


What is difference between piston rod and connecting rod?

A piston rod connects the piston to the crankshaft in an engine, transmitting the force from the expanding gas to the crankshaft to generate motion. A connecting rod connects the piston to the crankshaft, converting the linear motion of the piston into rotational motion to drive the crankshaft. In summary, the piston rod is part of the piston assembly, while the connecting rod is part of the crankshaft assembly in an engine.
