🔍 Key Concepts

• reciprocating motion vs. rotary motion in engines • difference between internal combustion and external combustion (like steam engines) • how diesel pistons move inside the cylinder

💭 Think About

• Which answer best describes fuel burning inside a fixed cylinder that drives a piston in a straight line? • Is the motion of the piston itself rotary or back-and-forth (linear), and what converts that motion to rotation? • Which choice incorrectly suggests that the combustion chamber itself moves, rather than the piston moving inside it?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that internal combustion means fuel is burned inside the engine cylinder, not outside • Identify that reciprocating means a back-and-forth linear motion of the piston • Eliminate any choice that describes the combustion chamber as moving or using a continuous (turbine-like) process
