Titre : | Internal Combustion Engines | Type de document : | texte imprimé | Auteurs : | R. K. Rajput, Auteur | Editeur : | Laxmi Publications (P) LTD | Année de publication : | 2005 | Importance : | 10004P | Présentation : | ill | Format : | 15.5 x 24 cm | ISBN/ISSN/EAN : | 978-81-7008-637-6 | Langues : | Français (fre) | Résumé : | An internal combustion engine (ICE or IC engine) is a heat engine in which the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit. In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high-temperature and high-pressure gases produced by combustion applies direct force to some component of the engine. The force is typically applied to pistons (piston engine), turbine blades (gas turbine), a rotor (Wankel engine), or a nozzle (jet engine). This force moves the component over a distance, transforming chemical energy into kinetic energy which is used to propel, move or power whatever the engine is attached to. This replaced the external combustion engine for applications where the weight or size of an engine were more important.[1 |
