Can a Combustion Engine Work in Vacuum?
07
A combustion engine can work in a vacuum, providing an oxidizer. Without an oxidizer, the engine would be unable to run. In such a situation, a direct

How Does Combustion Work in an Internal Combustion Engine?
09
Combustion is a process that turns energy from one form to another. An internal combustion engine achieves this process using a series of thermodynamic events.
