Q
what is an engine in a car
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
An engine in a car, often referred to as an internal combustion engine, serves as the heart of the vehicle. It converts fuel into mechanical energy, propelling the car forward. This process involves the combustion of fuel (usually petrol or diesel) mixed with air inside the engine's cylinders. This combustion produces power, pushing the pistons, turning the crankshaft, and ultimately driving the wheels. Modern cars may also use hybrid or electric engines, which rely on electricity as the primary source of power. These engines are designed for efficiency and reduced environmental impact compared to traditional internal combustion engines. The choice of engine significantly affects the vehicle's performance, fuel economy, and emissions, making it a critical component in automotive design and operation.
