What Size Engine is 140 Horsepower?
1 Answers
140 horsepower is equivalent to a 106.4 kilowatt engine. Below are the functions and classifications of engines: Engine Function: The car engine is the power-providing device for automobiles, serving as the heart of the vehicle. It determines the car's power performance, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental friendliness. Engine Classifications: External combustion engines, internal combustion engines, gas turbines, and jet engines. An external combustion engine refers to a type where the fuel is burned outside the engine. Invented in 1816 by Scottish engineer R. Stirling, it is also known as the Stirling engine. This type of engine converts the heat energy generated by combustion into kinetic energy. Watt's improved steam engine is a classic example of an external combustion engine. When a large amount of coal is burned to heat water into a significant volume of steam, high pressure is generated. This high pressure then drives mechanical work, thereby completing the conversion of thermal energy into kinetic energy.
