What is the difference between internal combustion engine and external combustion engine?

In an Internal Combustion Engine, the Fuel is burnt in the cylinder or vessel eg. Diesel or Petrol engine used in Cars.Gasoline engines, Wankel engines, diesels, gas turbines are all examples of internal combustion.In an External Combustion Engine, the internal working fuel is not burnt. Here the fluid is being heated from an external source. The fuel is heated and expanded through the internal mechanism of the engine resulting in work. eg. Steam Turbine, Steam engine Trains.


What fuels are used to heat the water to steam?

Typically, fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and oil are used to heat water to produce steam in power plants. Other sources of energy such as nuclear power and renewable energy sources like solar and geothermal can also be used to heat water and generate steam.


What chemical is produced when fuel is burned?

when an excess of oxygen is used CO2 and water (in the form of steam) is produced but if a quantity too small for the reaction is used CO is produced and again water (in the form of steam!) i hope this helps :)


What is an example of an external combustion engine?

Examples of external combustion engines: 1) wood-burning or coal burning steam-powered locomotives 2) coal and oil-fired boilers on steamships 3) Stanley Steamer, an early steam-powered motorcar 4) nuclear reactors


What natural resources does the steam boat require?

Steamboats require coal or wood as fuel to heat water to produce steam in the boiler. Water is another essential natural resource needed for steam production. Additionally, some steamboats may also rely on iron ore for hull construction and maintenance.
