Abstract IT does not seem long ago, though actually fourteen years have passed, since we overheard a well-known man of letters gently curb the impulsive pen of a younger writer who wished to record an impression that the increasing use of the internal combustion engine must prove a vital factor in our coming civilisation. The Internal Combustion Engine.

This gas rapidly accelerates the piston and mechanical work can be transferred to a rotating shaft. The late 19th century designs of Nicolaus Otto and Rudolf Diesel are still the most commonly used engine types; the spark-ignition Otto engine and the compression-ignition Diesel engine.

While substantial improvements in fuel economy and pollutant release have been made, internal combustion engines are still a major source of air pollution. The complex interaction of turbulent flow and chemical reactions that occur at high but finite rates, make it difficult to find the overall best approach for efficient and clean combustion of fuel. The use of catalytic converters and filters has helped to remove most of the unburned hydrocarbons and nitric oxide from the exhaust—the sources of the infamous Los Angeles smog.

More and more, internal combustion engines benefit from sophisticated electronic controls that are used to optimize performance based on actual power demands during operation. The reason is the electronic devices divert your attention and also cause strains while reading eBooks.
