Does a truck use an external or internal combustion engine.?

Internal combustion engine.


What is the Airflow or a turbine engine?

Airflow in a turbine engine refers to the movement of air through the engine's various components, including the intake, compressor, combustion chamber, and turbine. This airflow is crucial for the engine's operation, as it facilitates the combustion of fuel and the generation of thrust. The compressor increases the pressure of incoming air, while the turbine extracts energy from the high-temperature exhaust gases, driving the compressor and producing thrust. Efficient airflow management is essential for maximizing performance and fuel efficiency in turbine engines.


Why is diesel is an internal combustion engine?

When air is compressed it becomes hot. A diesel engine compresses air and fuel in a cylinder. The mixture burns and pushes down the piston. It is called an internal combustion engine because engines that work by burning fuel inside a cylinder and pushing down a piston are called internal combustion engines. Steam engines are external combustion engines. The fire burns and heats water in a boiler. The water turns to steam and either drives pistons like in a steam locomotive or in a turbine. Gas turbines could technically be called internal combustion but are not. One turbine compresses the gas. The gas burns under pressure in a combustion chamber and turns another turbine. Jet planes and a number of electric generators use gas turbines.


Identify the source of thermal energy in an internal combustion engine?

In an internal combustion engine fuel is burned in a combustion chamber or cylinder inside the engine


What industries did the internal combustion engine give rise to?

The internal combustion engine give rise to the auto industry.

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


What helps an airplane to move?

Thrust, typically created by a propeller attached to an internal combustion or turbine engine, or by a turbofan.


Basic difference in Internal combustion and External combustion engine's work principle?

internal combustion engine is one in which we burn the air fuel mixtue inside the cylinder of engine eg car engine external combustion engine is one in which we burn the fuel outside of engine and then take the hot gases inside the prime movers for taking out work eg gas turbine

Does a truck use an external or internal combustion engine.?

Internal combustion engine.


What are the differences of internal combustion and gasoline engine?

and internal combustion engine and a gasoline engine are the same thing.


Which type of engine is classified as internal combustion?

Reciprocating engines (piston engines) are internal combustion engines. Rotary engines ( Wankel engine) is also an internal combustion engine. In general, all types of engines in which the combustion chamber is an integrating part of the engine is considered a 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

What are types of engines other than internal combustion engine?

Steam EngineJet turbine EngineRotary EngineElectric EngineRocket EngineThe term 'engine' was originally coined to differentiate the "internal combustion" motor from all other previous types of motors. In the above mentioned answer, one should note that the jet turbine, the rocket, rotary and perhaps even the steam engines do have some sort of internal combustion. The proper term for the electric should be "Electric Motor"

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.
