HEAT ENGINE
Heat engine is a machine for converting heat (developed by
burning fuel) into useful work.
It can be said that heat engine is equipment which generates
thermal energy and transforms it into mechanical energy.
It is the solid casting body which includes the cylinder and water jackets
(cooling fins in the air cooled engines).
I.C. ENGINE COMPONENTS
3. Cylinder Head:
08-Exhaust Manifold
It is that part of the engine through
which exhaust gases go out of the
engine cylinder. It is capable of
withstanding high temperature of
burnt gases. It is fitted by the side
of the cylinder head.

Engine
A wide range of engines has been used
experimentally and in automotive production. The
most successful for automobiles has been the
gasoline-fueled reciprocating-piston
internal-combustion engine, operating on a four-
stroke cycle, while diesel engines are widely used
for trucks and buses.
Fuel
Cooling system
of the driver.
Antilock braking systems (ABS) became available in the late 1980s and since
then have become standard on a growing number of passenger cars. ABS
installations consist of wheel-mounted sensors that input wheel rotation speed
into a microprocessor.
Tires
The pneumatic rubber tire is the point of contact
between the automobile and the road surface. It
functions to provide traction for acceleration and
braking and limits the transmission of road
vibrations to the automobile body
Security systems
Motor vehicle theft has been a problem since the start of the automobile age. The 1900 Leach
automobile featured a removable steering wheel that the driver could carry away to prevent
unauthorized vehicle use. More recently, sophisticated electronic alarms, some of which
incorporate radio beacons, and more tamper-resistant wiring and electronic locks have been
produced. Through the use of wireless technology, vehicles equipped with Global Positioning
System (GPS) satellite navigation systems may be tracked and recovered when stolen.
