An internal combustion engine (ICE or IC engine) is a heat engine in which 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.

2023年7月18日 · An internal combustion engine is a type of heat engine that is widely used in various applications, particularly in transportation. This engine acts as the primary power source for automobiles, motorcycles, airplanes, boats, and many other machines.

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 typically applied to pistons (piston engine), turbine blades (gas turbine), a rotor (Wankel engine), or a nozzle . This force moves the component over a distance.

内燃機（英語： Internal combustion engine ，縮寫為ICE）是熱機的一種，能將燃料的化學能轉化動能。一般的實現方式为，燃料與空氣混合燃燒，產生熱能，氣體受熱膨脹，透過機械裝置轉化為機械能對外做功。

An engine in which the fuel combustion process takes place inside the engine cylinder is known as an Internal combustion engine (ICE or IC engine). The IC engine has the capability to use gasoline, diesel fuel, hydrogen, methane, and propane gas fuel as a working fluid.

2025年2月6日 · Internal-combustion engine, any of a group of devices in which combustion’s reactants (oxidizer and fuel) and products serve as the engine’s working fluids. Work results from the hot gaseous combustion products acting on the engine’s moving surfaces, such as the face of a piston, a turbine blade, or a nozzle.

2013年11月22日 · Internal combustion engines provide outstanding drivability and durability, with more than 250 million highway transportation vehicles in the United States relying on them. Along with gasoline or diesel, they can also utilize renewable or alternative fuels (e.g., natural gas , propane , biodiesel , or ethanol ).

One of the most important of these was the internal-combustion engine. In such a device a fuel and oxidizer are burned within the engine and the products of combustion act directly on piston or rotor surfaces.

Internal combustion (I.C.) engines are heat engines in which the combustion process is carried out internally, i.e., inside the combustion chamber. The high-pressure gases arise during the combustion are then used to do some useful work.

2024年6月27日 · The first modern internal combustion engine, known as the Otto engine, was created by a German engineer, Nicolaus Otto in 1876. “internal combustion engine” typically refers to engines where combustion occurs intermittently. The diesel engine was invented by a German mechanical engineer and inventor in 1897.
