Week 6 - Activity

One of the most important things we can do with heat is to use it to do work for us.
A heat engine does exactly this, it makes use of the properties of thermodynamics to transform heat into work. Gasoline
and diesel engines, jet engines, and steam turbines that generate electricity are all examples of heat engines.

A device that changes thermal energy into

mechanical work is a heat engine.
There are two kinds of heat engines: internal and
external combustion engine.
They are classified according to where the
combustion takes place. If the fuel is combusted
inside the engine chamber, it is an internal
combustion engine. When the fuel combustion takes
place outside the engine, it is an external combustion
engine. Gasoline, diesel engine and our human body
are examples of internal combustion engine while
steam, piston engine and the atmosphere are
examples of external
combustion engine.

Let us find out the four-cycle stroke of a gasoline engine

in the activity below:
Activity 1: Start the Engine!
Objective: After the activity, the learners should be able to discuss the four-cycle stroke of a gasoline engine.
Study the illustration and answer the table.
