internal-combustion engine

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

internal-combustion engine

Heat engine in which fuel is burned inside the engine, contrasting with an external-combustion engine (such as the steam engine) in which fuel is burned in a separate unit. The diesel engine and petrol engine are both internal-combustion engines. Gas turbines and jet and rocket engines are also considered to be internal-combustion engines because they burn their fuel inside their combustion chambers.
