An ordinary furnace is not an engine at all, because it does not directly cause mechanical motion. The heat or expanding gases released in a furnace can be used to drive an engine, but that is a separate component from the furnace. If a furnace is used in this manner, the engine is an external combustion engine.
What else can I help you with?
Is steam power plant is internal combustion or external combustion engine?
A steam engine is an external combustion engine.
Does a truck use an external or internal combustion engine.?
Internal combustion engine.
What are the two types of heat engines?
internal and external combustion engine
What are examples of heat engines?
internal and external combustion engine
Does a truck use external or internal combustion engine?
Currently they are all internal combustion, the last steam powered truck was built in 1945.

Is steam power plant is internal combustion or external combustion engine?
A steam engine is an external 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
Does a truck use an external or internal combustion engine.?
Internal combustion engine.
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
What type of engine were in use before the internal combustion engine?
The external combustion engine, like in a steam train.
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.
Difference between internal combustion engines and external combustion engines?
Internal combustion engines burn fuel inside the engine to generate power, while external combustion engines burn fuel outside the engine and use the resulting heat to create power, such as in steam engines. Internal combustion engines are more common in vehicles due to their compact size and efficiency, while external combustion engines are used in specific applications like power plants and some marine propulsion systems.
What is the difference between an external combustion engine and internal combustion engine?
An external combustion engine is where something is burning outside of the actual engine and the energy is transmitted to the engine via something. (e.g. boiler creates steam that goes to the engine a.k.a. steam engine) In an internal combustion engine, the burning happens in the actual cylinders of the engine. (e.g. car engine)
Is a steam engine an example of an internal combustion engine?
No, the steam engine is an external combustion engine because the steam is heated by heat generated by combustion outside externally through heat transfer. A spark ignition engine is an example of an internal combustion engine.
What are the two types of heat engines?
internal and external combustion engine
How you can now if the engine is internal combustion or external combustion while it is not working?
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
