In an internal combustion engine (ICE), the ignition and combustion of the fuel occurs within the engine itself. The engine then partially converts the energy from the combustion to work. The engine consists of a fixed cylinder and a moving piston.

What are advantages of IC Engine

The efficiency of an internal combustion engine is greater than that of an external combustion engine. The internal combustion engine can be manufactured in a range of sizes and can be fitted to small machines as well. There is no risk of accidents. Moreover, an internal combustion engine can be started immediately.

What is the difference between IC & EC Engine?

The main difference between internal and external combustion engine is that in internal combustion engines, the working fluid burns inside the cylinder, whereas in external combustion engines, combustion takes place outside the cylinder and heat is then transferred to the working fluid.

Do IC Engines have a future?

Since the internal combustion engine (ICE) will not disappear in the near future (see the figure above), the lubricant companies are encouraged to continue working to improve lubricants. The state of our environment mandates producing better, more environmentally friendly lubricants.

Is IC Engine a machine?

An internal combustion engine is a fluid-mechanic machine that converts the chemical energy of the fuel-air mixture into mechanical energy after a combustion process in the working cylinder.
