Critical thinking is not an innate ability. As mentioned in the article many of us are born with what Alcock

Chapter 1 ENGINES 1.1. INTRODUCTION The term‚ Engine‚ coined from the French word Engin‚ is nothing new to engineers. Motors converting heat energy into motion are usually referred to as engines (Collins English Dictionary - Complete & Unabridged 10th Edition‚ 2010). The type of engine being focused on in this report is an Internal Combustion Engine (as shown in Fig 1.1) in which a fuel is burnt along with air to produce hot gases which are then used to generate the necessary power

STRUCTURE Both being internal combustion type diesel and gasoline engines can be considered as similar. Simply‚ both engines converts chemical energy into mechanical one by burning fuel. In combustion engines the combustion (explosion of fuel) occurs at combustion chamber with ‚ generally‚ help of oxidizer (air‚ another fluid‚ etc.). The output‚ high heat and pressure of the burning process is transfered to other components of the engines which expose pressure as a mechanical energy. Some of these parts

An engines horsepower‚ in its most condensed definition‚ refers to the amount of horses it would take to perform the same function. At mankind’s present level of dependence on technology such a concept seems absurd‚ but at the beginning of the 17th century the literal equation of horsepower was used daily‚ especially in industry. With wind or water as the only alternative power sources‚ the use of load bearing beasts was inevitable. Wind is inconsistent and unreliable‚ whereas water was only plausible
