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.
Internal combustion engine.
in internal combustion engine combustion happens internally in cylinder and in external combustion engine combustion happens externally in boiler
A steam engine is an external combustion engine.
They are both internal combustion engines
both are the type of internal combustion engin
in internal combustion engine combustion happens internally in cylinder and in external combustion engine combustion happens externally in boiler
Currently they are all internal combustion, the last steam powered truck was built in 1945.
No, they are both internal combustion engines.
internal and external combustion engine
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.
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.
By looking at the build of it. If it's a gas turbine, jet engine, ramjet, or rocket motor, then it's not internal combustion. If it uses pistons in enclosed cylinders, then the combustion occurs internally, within the engine housing. Hence, that would be an internal combustion motor. a reciprocating steam engine is external combustion even though it has enclosed cylinders
