Heat engines use heat to do work?

Yes. Heat engines come in various forms. For example, internal combustion using gasoline or diesel, external combustion (not much used), steam engines reciprocating or turbine, gas turbines, rocket engines.


What are different what are the different engine types and classifications?

Engines can be classified based on various criteria, including the type of fuel used, the method of operation, and the engine cycle. Common engine types include internal combustion engines (e.g., gasoline and diesel engines), external combustion engines (e.g., steam engines), and electric engines. Additionally, they can be categorized by their cycle, such as two-stroke and four-stroke engines, or by design, like rotary or reciprocating engines. Each classification serves specific applications, from automotive to industrial and aerospace uses.


What are gasoline engines and diesel engines?

The Diesel cycle engine was named after the German engineer who invented it, Rudolf Diesel. A Diesel engine uses two principles: air gets hot when you compress it, and fuel will ignite if it gets hot enough. The engine compresses air introduced into the cylinder to a very high pressure. When fuel is injected it immediately ignites.


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 rocket engines are internal combustion engines?

YES the oxidizer and propelant are mixed into a chamber the ignited.

Does internal combustion engines uses nuclear fusion?

No, the explosion of compressed gases powers internal combustion.


Are Gasoline engines and diesel engines external or internal combustion engines?

They are both internal combustion engines


Is it true that most cars contained external combustion engines?

No. I cannot think of one modern, real automobile that uses an external combustion engine.


What uses combustion engines?

Cars, airplanes, diesel locomotives, peaker plants, emergency generators, etc.


Are both Gasoline and diesel engines classified as external combustion engines?

No, they are both internal combustion engines.


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 are four uses for oil?

Why do you use Diesel Engines to pull heavier loads petrol engines for higher speeds?

Becouse a diesel engine has no spark plugs to foul under a heavy load, and a heavy load can work in the diesel engines' favor because it uses compression not combustion Becouse a diesel engine has no spark plugs to foul under a heavy load, and a heavy load can work in the diesel engines' favor because it uses compression not combustion


What type of cars use internal combustion engines?

Gasoline and Diesel engines are internal combustion engines. The fuel explodes (combusts) internally (in the cylinder) and releases energy that is used to move the vehicle. Electric engines and steam engines are not internal combustion engines by definition. Steam engines combust their fuel externally to the "engine". The vast majority of passenger vehicles produced throughout history are driven by internal combustion engines.


Heat engines use heat to do work?

Yes. Heat engines come in various forms. For example, internal combustion using gasoline or diesel, external combustion (not much used), steam engines reciprocating or turbine, gas turbines, rocket engines.

What type pf fuel uses combustion to produce energy?

Gasoline and diesel are two common types of fuel that use combustion to produce energy. During combustion, these fuels react with oxygen to release heat energy that powers engines.
