Will the Connecting Rod Definitely Bend if Water Enters the Engine?
1 Answers
Engine water ingress will definitely cause the connecting rod to bend. The main reason is: The engine requires air to enter the combustion chamber, which is 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 while all valves are closed during the compression stroke, the compression process cannot be completed. This will result in the bending of the connecting rod. Below is some additional information: 1. 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. 2. Application Scope and History: Engines can refer to both power-generating 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."
