Will the Connecting Rod Definitely Bend if Water Enters the Engine?
1 Answers
Engine connecting rods will definitely bend if water enters. The main reason is: the engine requires air to enter the combustion chamber and be compressed by the piston to perform work. However, water is incompressible unlike air. If the engine is operating at high speed and water enters the combustion chamber when all valves are closed during the compression stroke, the compression cannot be completed. This will cause the connecting rod to bend. Here is some additional information: Function and Composition: An engine is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, jet engines, electric motors, etc. For example, an internal combustion engine typically converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. Scope of Use and History: Engines can refer to both power generation devices and the entire machine including the power unit. The engine was first invented 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."
