What is the internal combustion of a vehicle?

Answer 1

when the compressed gasoline fumes at the top of the cylinder are ignited by a spark it causes an explosion inside the chamber that forces or propels the piston to move in a straight line,and this causes the crankshaft to turn by way of an offset crankshaft and eventually urns the wheels via the transmisson and drive shaft and rear end gears.
this explosion inside the cylinder head of the engine block is the actual internal combustion referred to. prior engines had external combustion fires that heated water to steam and drove the pistons.

Answer 2

An internal combustion engine includes an engine body including a cylinder that defines a combustion chamber, an intake opening that faces the combustion chamber, and an intake passage in communication with the combustion chamber through the intake opening, a piston provided in the cylinder, an intake valve that opens and closes the intake opening, a throttle valve provided in the intake passage, and an injector that injects fuel between the throttle valve in the intake passage and the intake opening. A ratio of a volume of the portion that extends from the throttle valve in the intake passage to the intake opening, to a stroke volume of the cylinder is at most approximately 0.61. The time period in which fuel injection from the injector is terminated during an idling operation is set within a period of time after one intake stroke has been completed and before the next intake stroke is begun.

Answer 3

Internal combustion refers to the fact that and air/fuel mixture combusts (burns) inside the vehicles powerplant. This can refer to the engine in a car, truck, aircraft etc. Try looking at http://www.howstuffworks.com/index.htm for further explanation.

Answer 4

I assume you're serious, and missed a basic science class somewhere.
Internal combustion is what happens inside the cylinder of an engine or motor that burns fuel.
Any public library, kid's section, any book on basic auto facts can say it much better than I can.

Answer 5

using the typical car motor as an example; fuel/air is injected into the cylinder, the piston inside the cylinder then compresses the air fuel mixture, then the spark plugs sends a spark into the cylinder causing the air/fuel misture to explode pushing the piston back down the cylinder. thats internal combustion in a nutshell

Answer 6

burning the gas inside the engine!!
