WANKEL ENGINE The Wankel engine‚ invented by German engineer Felix Wankel‚ is a type of internal combustion engine which uses a rotary design to convert pressure into a rotating motion instead of using reciprocating pistons. Its four-stroke cycle takes place in a space between the inside of an oval-like epitrochoid-shaped housing and a rotor that is similar in shape to a Reuleaux triangle but with sides that are somewhat flatter. This design delivers smooth high-rpm power from a compact size. Since

Diesel Engine Heat engines are sometimes referred to as being motors. Actually‚ a motor converts one form of energy into useful work without the intentional production of heat‚ such as an electric motor. A device which burns fuel creating heat to perform work is a heat engine. Heat engines can be classified as external combustion‚ such as steam boiler‚ or internal combustion (IC). They can further be divided into the spark ignited (SI) engine or the compression ignited engine (CI). The compression
