External Engine and Internal Combustion Engine
- External Combustion Engine or E.C. Engine
This type of engine allows combustion of fuel to take place outside of the engine. The heat is generated by the burning of fuel, which then converts the water or other fluid into steam. Once this high-pressure steam is created, causes the rotation of the turbine. In this type of engine, the fuel can be anything, right from solid and liquid to even the gas. You may see these engines working in ships, driving locomotive, and even at places where electric power is generated.
- Internal Combustion Engine or I.C. Engine
An engine where combustion of fuel takes place inside the engine is Internal Combustion Engine. A high pressure and temperature generated inside the engine cylinder with the burning of the fuel. This high pressure then exerts on the piston, which is responsible for the rotation of the wheels. When your car engine type is this, we only use the highly volatile fuel like diesel and petrol besides gases. You may find these types of car engines getting used at places where electric power is used and automobile industries as well.
Counting its benefits, this engine has overall high efficiency over external combustion engine. Besides, this engine is quite compact and consumes lesser space comparatively. Even the initial cost is lower and you will be able to start this engine easily in those chilling days, as it uses only the highly volatile fuel. There are a number of online sources, where you can find simple yet effective ways to boost engine power as well. After all, it is better to update yourself way before about the problem that may occur in the future.
