The force is applied typically to pistons, turbine blades, a rotor, or a nozzle. In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high- temperature and high- pressure gases produced by combustion applies direct force to some component of the engine. Diagram describing the ideal combustion cycle by CarnotĪn internal combustion engine ( ICE) is a heat engine in which the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit.
