it is called a piston
Piston
Piston.
In an internal combustion engine fuel is burned in a combustion chamber or cylinder inside the engine
There are many components but the most noteable are the block, head, crankcase, cylinder, piston, piston rod, crank shaft, camshaft, and flywheel.
in internal combustion engine combustion happens internally in cylinder and in external combustion engine combustion happens externally in boiler
There is an engine block which houses all the moving parts of an internal combustion engine, and a cylinder which is a part of that block, the cylinder is where the piston moves inside and where combustion takes place.
I believe youre asking what is meant by internal combustion engine. The internal refers to where the combustion take ls plaace. I.e. The fuel is ignited INSIDE the cylinder
Internal combustion engine is where the fuel is ignited in the cylinder to make the piston move, petrol or diesel. A steam engine has an external pressure vessel to supply the steam to the cylinder to push the piston. the is no combustion in the engine as such.
A one lunger is a single cylinder internal combustion engine.
I own two that still run
In an Internal Combustion Engine, the fuel is burned in the cylinder or vessel. Eg. Diesel or Petrol engine used in Cars.Internal engine has its energy ignited in the cylinder, like 99.9% of engines today.In an External Combustion Engine, the internal working fuel is not burned. 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. An external combustion example is a steam engine where the heating process is done in an boiler out side the engine.
