Internal combustion (IC) engines generate power by burning fuel within the engine itself, converting the chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy through a series of controlled explosions. In contrast, external combustion (EC) engines burn fuel outside the engine, using the heat generated to produce steam or gas that drives a piston or turbine. IC engines are typically more compact and efficient for automotive applications, while EC engines, such as steam engines, can utilize a variety of fuels and are often used in power generation. Overall, IC engines are more prevalent in personal and commercial vehicles, while EC engines are found in specific industrial applications.

What is the difference between ic engine and ec engine?
IC & EC engines are heat engines and they convert heat into work. Example of an IC engine is a petrol engine and example of an EC engine is Steam Engine. The main differences between them are listed below: 1) Combustion: The main difference is where the combustion takes places. In IC engines fuel combustion takes place inside the cylinder, whereas in EC engines it takes place outside the engine cylinder. 2) The temperature and pressure in an IC engines is much higher than those of EC engines. 3) IC engines are made of materials that are better resistant to heat and pressure than in EC engines. 4) In IC engines the piston is directly connected to connecting rod, whereas in an EC engine there is a stuffing box. 5) Efficiency is higher for IC engines. 6) Boilers are required for EC engines to store water, which is to be converted to steam. But IC engines require only a much smaller tank to store fuel. 7) EC engines, unlike IC engines cannot be started or stopped quickly, because it takes time to initiate boiling of water and generate steam. 8) IC engines are lighter than EC engines. 9) IC engines are cheaper compared to EC engines.

What is difference between ic engine and automobile engine?
Automobile engines are ic (internal combustion).
Is gas turbine an ic engine?
Gas turbines are a type of Internal Combustion engine, however; Assuming that you want to know the difference between a recpirocating piston engine and a gas turbine engine, the simple answer is that ICE's (Internal combustion engines) create work by moving a crank that is connected to a piston. An explosion in the piston chamber pushes a piston (or series of pistons) attached to a crankshaft, which turns the shaft. The gas turbine works by turning a shaft connected to a turbine. The turbine is powered by a compressed feul-air mixture. A stream of gas is compressed with air and forced through a chamber containing the turbine. The turbine turns the shaft as a result of complex mechanics that control the movement and flow of the compressed fuel-air mixture. The basic mechanical difference: A reciprocating piston engine uses a linear "back and forth" motion to turn a shaft, and the gas turbine engines relies on a constant circular motion to turn a shaft.

What is compression ratio in ic engine?
This is the ratio between the total volume to the clearance volume in IC engines
How many syllables are in the word electronic?
There are four syllables. El-ec-tron-ic.
Ic engine cooling system of ship?
explain the working of ic engine cooloing systems
What is the difference between detonation and knocking in ic engine?
Detonation involves a supersonic exothermic. Knocking in a engine is spark-ignition internal combustion.
How can you differentiate between the inlet and outlet ports in an ic engine?
outlet ports are smaller to reduce the exhaust losses
