The internal combustion engine (or ICE ) is quite different from external combustion engine .I.C or Internal Combustion Engine is an engine in which the combustion of a fuel (normally a fossil fuel) occurs with an oxidizer in a combustion chamber. In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high-temperature and high-pressure gasses produced by combustion apply direct force to some component of the engine.
The engine was developed by Rudolf Diesel in 1893. Rudolf Diesel was born in Paris in 1858 into a family of German expatiate sand he was educated at Munich Polytechnic. A Diesel engine is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition to burn burn the fuel, which is injected into the combustion chamber. This is in contrast to spark_ignition engines such as a petrol engine (gasoline engine ) or gas engine (using a gaseous fuel as opposed to gasoline) and which uses a spark plug to ignite an air fuel mixture.
The term INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE usually refers to an engine which combustion is intermittent, such as the more familiar Four_stroke and Two_stroke piston engines, along with variants, such as the six-stroke piston engine and the Wankel rotary engine. Gas turbines, Jet engines and most rocket engines, each of which are internal combustion engines use continues combustion engines on the same principle as previously describe.
A large number of different designs for I C Es have been developed and built, with a variety of different strengths and weaknesses. There are many stationary applications the strength of internal engines is dominate as a power supply for cars, aircraft and boats.
