How does the engine work?

Question

Accepted Answer

The engine works by converting fuel into mechanical energy through a series of combustion processes.

The engine operates on the principle of internal combustion, where fuel is ignited inside the engine cylinders.
Fuel and air mixture is drawn into the cylinders through intake valves.
The mixture is compressed by the piston, increasing its temperature and pressure.
A spark plug ignites the compressed mixture, causing a controlled explosion.
The explosion forces the piston down, converting the energy into rotational motion.
The rotating crankshaft transfers the motion to the transmission and ultimately the wheels.
Exhaust gases are expelled through the exhaust valves.
The process repeats in a cycle, providing continuous power to the vehicle.

Accepted Answer

An engine converts chemical energy, electrical energy, kinetic energy or heat energy into mechanical energy.
