Why Does the Engine of a Manual Transmission Car Feel Sluggish?
1 Answers
Engine overheating can lead to poor lubrication, increased mechanical wear, reduced engine power, resulting in a sluggish and weak engine. Engine Classification: External combustion engines, meaning their fuel burns outside the engine, were invented in 1816 by R. Stirling of Scotland, hence also known as Stirling engines. These engines convert the thermal energy generated from combustion into kinetic energy. The steam engine improved by Watt is a typical example of an external combustion engine, where a large amount of coal burns to generate heat, boiling water into a significant amount of steam, creating high pressure. This high pressure then drives mechanical work, completing the conversion of thermal energy into kinetic energy. Internal combustion engines, or reciprocating piston engines, differ significantly from external combustion engines in that their fuel burns inside the engine. There is a wide variety of internal combustion engines, with common gasoline and diesel engines being typical examples. Engine Displacement: Engine displacement is the total volume swept by all the engine's cylinders, usually measured in liters (L). The cylinder displacement refers to the volume of gas swept by the piston from the top dead center to the bottom dead center, also known as single-cylinder displacement, which depends on the cylinder bore and piston stroke. Engine displacement is a crucial engine parameter, more representative of engine size than cylinder bore and number, with many engine indicators closely related to displacement. Generally, the larger the displacement, the greater the engine's output power.
