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
A one lunger is a single cylinder internal combustion engine.
I own two that still run
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.
In terms of engines, an external combustion engine such as a steam engine burns fuel outside of the pressure cylinder used to drive the piston. An internal combustion engine such as a petrol or diesel engine burns the fuel inside the pressure cylinder used to drive the piston.
