Introduction:
| Internal
combustion engines are used in every automobile and are
the driving force for many electric generators and other
industrial and household machines. Many studies have
been done in the past and many are still in progress
today by scientists, manufacturers and students about
internal combustion engines. Most of these studies focus
on increasing the efficiency and reducing the pollution
caused by internal combustion engines. Today internal
combustion engines have an efficiency rate of about 30%. |
 |
In other words 70% of the fuel
energy is being wasted mostly in the form of heat and only about
30% is converted to mechanical energy. Also the large amount of
carbon dioxide produced by such engines is contributing to air
pollution and global warming.

Project
description:
This project is an opportunity to learn about the structure and
design of an internal combustion engine. This is a display
project and you will not have to define variables or come up
with a hypothesis. You may make models and do drawings to
explain the actions and parts of an engine. In the project
detail section we have also included some advice for students
who want to have a specific question for their project and need
to define variables, have a hypothesis and perform an
experiment. |
