Chapter 11 Internal Combustion Engines 11.1 Introduction Internal combustion engines differ from external combustion engines in that the energy released from the burning of fuel occurs inside the engine rather than in a separate combustion chamber. Examples of external combustion engines are gas and steam turbines. The gas turbine power plant utilizes products of combustion from a separate combustor as the working fluid. These gases are used to drive the gas turbine and produce useful power. The

His assistant‚ Denis Papin‚ also experimented with developing an internal combustion engine‚ building a simple steam-powered device around 1790. Again‚ this engine was not practical‚ and not until the early nineteenth century did the
