TYPES OF ENGINES
AND ITS APPLICATION
ENGINE
An engine is a device which transforms one form of energy into another form. Normally most of the engines convert thermal energy into mechanical work and therefore they are called ‘heat engines’.
Heat engine is a device which transforms the chemical energy of the fuel into mechanical energy and utilizes this thermal energy to perform useful work. Thus, thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy in a heat engine.
Heat engines can be broadly classified into two categories: 1. Internal Combustion Engines(IC Engines) 2. External Combustion Engines(EC Engines)
External combustion engines are engines in which combustion takes place outside the engine and the products of combustion are used as the working fluid. For example, in a steam engine or steam turbine, the heat generated due to combustion of the fuel is employed to generate high pressure steam which is used as working
