What is an Internal combustion engine ?
An internal combustion engine (ICE) is a heat engine where 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 applied typically to pistons, turbine blades,
rotor or a nozzle. This force moves the component over a
distance, transforming chemical energy into useful mechanical
energy.
