An engine in which fuel is burned inside the engine. A car's gasoline engine or rotary engine is an example of a internal combustion engine. It differs from engines having an external furnace, su [..]

A heat engine in which the fuel burns inside the cylinder or turbine chamber.

According to 10 CFR 500.2 [Title 10 Energy; Chapter II Department of Energy; Subchapter E Alternate Fuels; Part 500 Definitions], the term internal combustion engine means “a heat engine in which the [..]

The standard way to power a traditional gasoline-powered car.

an engine that burns fuel inside rather than outside engine, as does a steam engine (external combustion engine).

The motive power of the majority of current vehicles is provided by the combustion of fuel and air within an engine, which transfers the resulting mechanical motion to the vehicle drive train.

One that burns its fuel within cylinders or some other enclosed space.   Independent Lessor Independent lessors are usually individual businesses that can provide for the lease of virtually any make o [..]

(ICE or IC) An engine that burns fuel within itself as a means of developing power (unlike an External combustion engine such as a steam engine).

This is an engine which mixes oxygen and fossil fuels, usually, under controlled pressure to then be ignited intermittently and so generate power and exhaust emissions. The ICE has been successfully u [..]

Engine that operates through fuel being consumed in itself.

An engine in which both the heat energy and the ensuing mechanical energy are produced inside the engine. Includes gas turbines, spark ignition gas and compression ignition diesel engines.

an engine in which both the heat energy and the ensuing mechanical energy are produced inside the engine

An internal combustion engine operates by burning its fuel inside the engine, rather than outside of it, as an external, or steam engine does. The most common internal combustion engine type is gasoline powered, followed by diesel, hydrogen, methane, and propane. Engines typically require adaptations (like adjusting the air/fuel ratio) to run on a [..]
