What Does a Four-Cylinder Engine Mean?
1 Answers
Four-cylinder engine, also known as an engine, is a machine capable of converting one form of energy into another more useful form of energy. Energy Conversion: An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. For example, an internal combustion engine typically converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. Device: An engine can refer to both a power generation device and the entire machine including the power unit (e.g., gasoline engine, aircraft engine). The engine was first developed in the UK, so the concept of the engine also originates from English, with its original meaning referring to 'a mechanical device that generates power.'
