"Combustion engine" is a pretty generic term.
Arguably the aeolipile was a very simple combustion engine, and it was described by Hero (that's a name, not a title) of Alexandria in the 1st Century.
James Watt patented his steam engine in 1781.
Robert Stirling developed an external combustion engine that did not use steam in 1816.
The first internal combustion engine that we'd today recognize as an "engine" was probably the one developed by Christiaan Huygens (you may have heard the name before; he's more famous as an astronomer) in the 17th Century. It ran on gunpowder and was designed to operate water pumps for the palace gardens at Versailles.
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.
What invention made the combusioin engine possible?
The invention of the spark plug made the combustion engine possible by providing a reliable means to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the engine's cylinders. This innovation allowed for controlled combustion, enabling the development of internal combustion engines that could efficiently convert fuel into mechanical energy. Without the spark plug, the combustion engine would not have achieved the reliability and performance necessary for widespread use in vehicles and machinery.
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 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.
