IC ENGINES & EC ENGINES

IC ENGINES & EC ENGINES:
                       IC engines and EC engines are one of the main classifications of engines.This classification is based on the combustion take place.If the combustion take place inside of the engine that's IC engine and the combustion take place outside of the engine it's EC engine.

INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES:
                      They are more compact in size,because the combustion is inside the engine cylinder.These types of engines are commonly used in the automobile industry.Because it is lighter in weight and smaller and size.There is no need of another boiler or something,it  is the main particle of it.The combustion means to produce a gas or steam, this steam will force the piston.In IC engines this steam or gas is produced by the help of spark plug(in petrol engine) or the help of fuel injector(in diesel engine).This technology can provide more compact construction for an engine.So the IC engines are widely used.There is no need of an extra boiler for the combustion,the combustion take place in the engine cylinder.
ADVANTAGES:
              >It is more compact in construction
              >It can provide more efficiency
              >High speed engine
              >Fuel efficiency is high

EXTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES:
                     They are comparatively large in size and there is a need of external boiler,so it is named external combustion engine.The gas or steam produced by the boiler will passed through a pipe or tunnels.The old types of trains are the best example for it.So they are large in size.So they are commonly used in factories or machinaries.They need high maintanance and needs more care.They can provide more power to the engine.because the boilers are huge in size.


ADVANTAGES:
             >It can provide more power
