what is an internal combustion engine?

It's what drives cars. the combustion (fire) is on the inside of the driving cylinder (internal) whereas, in a steam engine, the fire is outside the drive cylinder.

Answer 2

So simple.

Any engine where the combustion of fuel is internal to the engine. Contrast this with old timer steam engines and later gas turbines of power houses where the fuel (coal etc) are burnt outside and steam / hot gas drives the engine.

Answer 3

It is the heart of any automobile. IC Engine or internal combustion engine is named as a mixture of fuel and air is ignited to give power to the piston which ultimately drives your automobile.

Answer 4

It is where the power used to move the piston is produced inside the engine, ie all petrol & diesel engines.
An external combustion is where the power used to move the piston is produced outside the engine, ie a steam engine, the water is heated, turned to steam & then directed to the cylinder to act on the piston.

Answer 5

any engine where the fuel is mixed with air and placed in a chamber to be ignited and the explosions power is harnessed to spin a crankshaft
ie 2stroke, 4 stroke
diesel
