Internal combustion engine

Internal combustion engines (ICE) are the most common form of heat engines, as they are used in vehicles, boats, ships, airplanes, and trains. They are named as such because the fuel is ignited in order to do work inside the engine. The same fuel and air mixture is then emitted as exhaust.

1. Fuel and air is injected into the chamber.
2. The fuel catches fire from spark plug as the piston compressing the compound.
3. This fire pushes the piston which is the useful motion.
4. The waste products, by volume s is mostly water vapor (H²O) and carbon dioxide (CO²). There can be pollutants as well like carbon monoxide from incomplete combustion.
