In terms of engines, an external combustion engine such as a steam engine burns fuel outside of the pressure cylinder used to drive the piston. An internal combustion engine such as a petrol or diesel engine burns the fuel inside the pressure cylinder used to drive the piston.
What else can I help you with?
Does a truck use an external or internal combustion engine.?
Internal combustion engine.
What is the most important difference between and internal combustion engine and an external combustion engine?
in internal combustion engine combustion happens internally in cylinder and in external combustion engine combustion happens externally in boiler
Is steam power plant is internal combustion or external combustion engine?
A steam engine is an external combustion engine.
Are Gasoline engines and diesel engines external or internal combustion engines?
They are both internal combustion engines
what is a heater an internal combustion engine or a external combustion engine?
A heater can be either an internal combustion engine or an external combustion engine, depending on its design and operation. Internal combustion engines generate heat through the combustion of fuel within the engine itself, while external combustion engines produce heat by burning fuel outside the engine to heat a working fluid. Common examples of heaters include furnaces (external combustion) and car engines (internal combustion). The specific classification depends on how and where the combustion occurs in relation to the heat-producing mechanism.
Similarities between Internal combustion and external combustion engine?
both are the type of internal combustion engin
What is the most important difference between an international combustion engine and an external combustion engine?
in internal combustion engine combustion happens internally in cylinder and in external combustion engine combustion happens externally in boiler
Does a truck use external or internal combustion engine?
Currently they are all internal combustion, the last steam powered truck was built in 1945.
Are both Gasoline and diesel engines classified as external combustion engines?
No, they are both internal combustion engines.
What are the two types of heat engines?
internal and external combustion engine
Why do cars use internal combustion engines rather than external combustion engines?
The term "Internal combustion" means the burning, or combustion of the fuel/air is detonated in an enclosed cylinder under compression, driving piston down. If the combustion was external, there would simply be an explosion in the air that produces no power.
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.
