What is an INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE (ICE)

 An internal combustion engine (ICE) is a type of engine that generates power by burning fuel inside the engine. This process involves the mixing of air and fuel, which is ignited to create a controlled explosion that drives a piston, creating rotational motion.

TYPES of  INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE:

There are two main types of internal combustion engines: spark-ignition engines and compression-ignition engines. In spark-ignition engines, a spark plug ignites a fuel and air mixture, while in compression-ignition engines, the mixture is compressed until it reaches a temperature high enough to ignite spontaneously.

Internal combustion engines are commonly used in transportation vehicles, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles, as well as in machinery such as generators, pumps, and lawn mowers. These engines can run on a variety of fuels, including gasoline, diesel, natural gas, and biofuels.

While internal combustion engines have been the primary source of power for the transportation industry for over a century, they have also been the subject of environmental concern due to their emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases. As a result, research and development are ongoing to improve the efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of these engines.
