    Internal Combustion Engine, the short and most popular name, is IC Engine. It is one of the types of engines where fuel burns and creates pressure on the piston inside the cylinder. Fuel burns or combusts inside the cylinder; that’s why it is known as an internal combustion engine.

    In an internal combustion engine, fuel and air are ignited inside a cylinder. The hot exhaust gas pushes a piston in the cylinder which is connected to a crankshaft to produce power. The burning of fuel is not a continuous process but occurs very quickly at regular time intervals.
