Question

Most cars today use an ___ combustion engine ... A. internal B. external

Answer 1

Answer:

A. internal

Explanation:

Engine is the name given to the equipment responsible for turning energy into motion of the vehicle in which it is installed. In the case of cars and other vehicles, the engine is called “internal combustion” because it transforms the burning of fuels in its interior in motion.

Regardless of engine type, everyone needs the same elements: air, fuel, and an explosion trigger. In Otto engines, this trigger is provided by the spark plug, which unleashes a spark inside the cylinder and generates the explosion. In diesel engines, such an explosion is generated by the compression of gases within the cylinder and the elevated temperature.
