It is an engine in which the combustion of fuel takes place inside the engine. When the fuel burns inside the engine cylinder, it generates a high temperature and pressure. This high-pressure force is exerted on the piston (A device that frees to moves inside the cylinder and transmits the pressure force to crank by use of connecting rod), which used to rotate the wheels of the vehicle. In these engines, we can use only gases and high volatile fuel like petrol, diesel. These engines are generally used in automobile industries, generation of electric power, etc. Advantages of I.C. engine It has overall high efficiency over the E.C. engine. These engines are compact and required less space. The initial cost … Continue reading IC ENGINE: COMPONENTS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS, TYPES, AND TERMINOLOGY
