Incomplete combustion in an engine indicates that all of the fuel has not been burnt. Incomplete combustion can cause clogging and damage to the valves in the engine of a car.

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.


Is steam power plant is internal combustion or external combustion engine?

A steam engine is an external combustion engine.


WHY THE internal combustion engine is not 100 percent efficient?

The internal combustion engine is not 100 percent efficient due to several inherent limitations. A significant portion of the energy from fuel is lost as heat during combustion and through friction between moving parts, which does not contribute to useful work. Additionally, incomplete combustion and energy losses in exhaust gases further reduce overall efficiency. These factors, combined with mechanical and thermodynamic constraints, prevent the engine from achieving perfect efficiency.

How is carbon monoxide formed in a car engine?

When the car is idling in an enclosed space, such as a garage, the Oxygen in the enclosed space is constantly being used up by the engine to burn the fuel. In time, the amount of Oxygen in the air decreases and the amount of Carbon-dioxide increases. So after a while, the engine does not get enough Oxygen to burn the fuel completely resulting in incomplete combustion of fuel. This incomplete combustion results in the production of Carbon-monoxide (CO) instead of Carbon-dioxide (CO2). Similarly when the tailpipe of an automobile is obstructed (by water or other physical obstructions), this creates a back-pressure to the engine and the engine does not suck in enough air from the atmosphere resulting in incomplete combustion of fuel followed by production of Carbon-monoxide.
