8Ea Engines

Learning Objective

• 1)To Explain the meaning of Combustion.

• 2)To understand the difference between Internal Combustion
Engine and External Combustion Engine
Cars- Self Propelled vehicle
Self Propelled Vehicle

• Self propelled vehicle are the vehicles that Carries their own
Source of Energy .

• From the Source , energy is Transferred to the Wheels so that the

Vehicle can move.
Video- Nicolas Cugnots Steam Engine

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP_oQHYmdRs

Note Down the observations from the Video.

What Did you Observe?

•Engine is outside.
•The vehicle is very Big
•The Vehicle is too slow
•Heavy
•Boiler is used to burn the fuel to
Produce Steam
Nicolas Cugnot’s Steam Engine

• This is the First Self Propelled

Vehicle which was created By
Nicolas Cugnot and it is working on
Steam by Burning the Wood , Water
is heated, steam is generated.
Lets Compare!

• Nicolas Cugnot’s Steam engine / Modern Day Vehicles

Differences-

• Main Difference – Engine

Nicolas Cugnots steam Engine Modern Day Vehicle

1)Steam was used as a source of Energy. 1) Petrol, Diesel is used as the source of
Energy.

2)The Process of Burning of the Fuel takes 2)The process of Burning of Fuel takes
Place Outside the Engine place inside the Engine

3)Depending upon Process of Burning, It is 3)Depending upon Process of Burning, It is

Classified as External Combustion Engine. Classified as Internal Combustion Engine
What is Combustion?

• Combustion is the Scientific term for Burning.

• A substance reacts with oxygen from the air and transfers
energy to the Surrounding in the form of Light and heat.
External Combustion Engine Internal Combustion Engine

External Combustion Engine is an Internal Combustion Engine is an

engine the generates power by engine the generates power by
burning of Fuel with air Outside the burning of Fuel with air inside the
Engine Engine

Eg: Nicolas Cugnots steam Engine Eg: Buses. Trucks ,Cars etc
What happens during combustion?

• When Fuel ( Petrol, diesel)

Burns inside the Engine it releases
Harmful Substances in the
Environment.
Research Question

What are some of the Examples

You think can be used as an
Alternative to this Fuels.
( Students to present their research in the next class)

Hint: Also research regarding some gas which can be used as a Fuel.
