What engine is an example of an internal combustion engine?

The four-stroke engine used in automobiles is an example of an internal combustion engine.


What is the difference between internal combustion engine and heat engine?

An internal combustion engine is a type of heat engine that generates mechanical energy by burning fuel inside the engine. A heat engine, on the other hand, is a broader category of engines that convert heat energy into mechanical work through various processes, including combustion, thermodynamic cycles, and heat transfer. In essence, all internal combustion engines are heat engines, but not all heat engines are internal combustion engines.


Is the internal combustion engine's fuel burns outside the engine in chambers called cylinders?

Internal combustion refers to an engine were the combustion process takes place inside the engine. The cylinders in question are an internal portion of the cylinder block which houses the crankshaft, connecting rods and the pistons which move up and down in the cylinder drawing in the air fuel mixture, are forced down by the combustion process, and push the spend fuel charge out of the cylinder at the end of the cycle. An example of an external combustion engine would be a steam engine where the combustion takes place in a boiler external to the engine and the steam generated by the boiler is used to motivate the engine.


Can water be used as fuel in internal combustion engine?

No, water cannot be used as a direct fuel in an internal combustion engine. However, water can be used in a process called electrolysis to produce hydrogen, which can then be used as a fuel source in internal combustion engines.


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.
