can anybody explain  to me what is carnot engine?

combustion? your question i super vague. the drive shaft applying torque created by the engine to the wheels which turn making the car move? you might want to be more specific. and if you look at wikipedia.org under combustion engine you might find what your looking for

Very efficient cars as far as I know. German engineering is quite superb.\n\n(PS I do get your question - and I love 'em! :-) )

a car engine that would run on silicone and water.\nwhy?\nbecause i live just next to the sahara which  has long been associated with death , famine,desperation.\nrecently in history fortunes reversed when petroleum exploded from the sand , becoming the (black gold)\ni hope invention of such an engine would serve many goals\n     1  spare the petroleum for industry and manufacture of \n         medicine and other necessities for which it is the best\n        crude material.\n     2 decrease world pollution and green house effect\n     3  cars would be less dangerous because the explosive\n         tendency could be better controlled,so collisions dont necessarily mean explosion fire death.\n    4   cheap transportation for work and recreation(sand is everywhere)\n    5  further flourishing of our area (north africa) where sand \n        threatens to bury us alive, instead of that we can sell it.

Sadi Carnot, a French engineer, resulting in his remarkable paper ReÂflexions sur la puissance motrice du feu et sur les machines propres a developper cette puissance (On the Motive Power of Heat) published in 1824 [1]. In his work, Carnot constructed an ideal cycle, which is now well known as the Carnot cycle, and analyzed its thermal efficiency. Carnot showed that:\n\n1. Any engine, using heat from a hot reservoir at temperature Th to do work, has to transfer some heat to a reservoir at lower temperature\nTl.\n\n2.The thermal efficiency of the Carnot cycle was working medium-independent.\n3. No engine could convert into work more of heat taken in at Th\nthan the fraction  known as the Carnot efficiency.\n\nFurthermore, the Carnot principles are only for the cyclic devices (heat engines), stating that:\n1. The efficiency of an irreversible heat engine is always less than the efficiency of a reversible one operating between the same two reservoirs;\n2. The efficiencies of all reversible heat engines operating between the same two reservoirs are the same.

The Wankel engine is an internal combustion engine invented by Professor Wankel of Germany.  It uses a rotary "piston" instead of the common up-and-down strokes of a standard i.c. engine.  Altho it was first used in an NSU RO-80 [I think that's the correct model number], it was Mazda that brought the Wankel engine into the public consciousness via a sedan as well as the early RX-series of sports car; I believe the rotary-engined Mazdas first appeared in the early- to mid-seventies

dont got the exact meaning but applications...\nbet ya like fords high performance block\nSpecific models that used FE engines include the later, large-engined AC Cobra, high-performance Ford Mustangs between 1967 and 1970, many Ford Galaxies including racing cars, some Ford Fairlanes, Ford Thunderbirds until halfway through 1968, and many others\n\nheres a link read up on the FE series engines

Blowing up engine? are we trying to use electrolysis to run an engine?? Try diluting the mixture with something other than oxygen. Or, better yet, just stop and let someone who knows what they are doing give it a whirl. The fact that you are here doesn't give me much faith in your chemical or engineering skills.

because a car turns heat energy into mechanical energy

From wikipedia.com:\n\nA supercharger (also known as a blower) is an air compressor used to compress air into the cylinders of an internal combustion engine. The additional mass of oxygen-containing air that is forced into the cylinders improves the volumetric efficiency of the engine which allows the engine to burn more fuel and makes it more powerful. A supercharger can be powered mechanically by belt-, gear- or chain-drive from the engine's crankshaft. It can also be powered by a gas turbine . When a centrifugal type compressor section is mated to a gas turbine drive it is then referred to as a turbo-supercharger, commonly called a turbocharger . Positive displacement Superchargers may absorb as much as a third of the total crankshaft power of the engine, and in many applications are less efficient than turbochargers. In applications where engine response and power is more important than any other consideration, such as top-fuel dragsters and vehicles used in tractor pulling competitions, positive displacement superchargers are extremely common.

Im not certain what you want to know about gas engines.  The most common gas engine is a four stroke internal combustion engine. Let us start the cycle with the piston head top dead center. The intake valve is open and head drops pulling gasoline and air into the cylinder(1st stroke). Next the valves close and due to the rotating crank the piston rises compressing the gas and air(2nd stroke). The sparkplug inites the gas, forcing the piston down (3rd stroke). This explosive force is what moves the car forward. The piston head rises expeling the burnt gas through the exhast valve (4th and last stroke). This leaves the piston in the top dead center position to start the cycle all over again. A car will generaly have four or more cylinders in even numbers (4,6,8, ect.).  while 1st cylinder might be in the 3rd stroke powering the crank shaft, the crank shaft would rotate the other pistons resulting in cylinders 2-4 to experince the strokes (cylinder 2: 4th stroke, cylinder 3: 1st stroke, and cylinder 4: 2nd stroke). Thus there is always one cylinder powering the other cylinders. An eletric starter is used to rotate the crank shaft to intiate the first combustion stroke.  Otherwise how will the pistons move without the intial spark.  Think of the old Ford model T cars and how they had to manualy crank the engine and think of how modern cars start with only a crank of the ignition key. To learn more I recomend researching physics, chemistry, mechanical dynamics, and thermodynamics

The key is internal combustion.  If it has a fire in it, like a car engine or a jet engine, it is just that: an engine.  If its source of power is external, like an electric or hydraulic or compressed air motor, it is a motor.  That's the technical answer.  In practice, ignorance (as in lack of knowledge) causes many people to call engines motors.

The Stirling engine, is a heat engine of the external combustion piston engine type whose heat-exchange process allows for near-ideal efficiency in conversion of heat into mechanical movement by following the Carnot cycle as closely as is practically possible with given materials.\n\ncheck for more\n\nhttp://www.seminartopics.net/Seminar-Report-Stirling%20engine-Civil%20Engineering

When Scientists and Engineers complete the building of a particularly new engine, the initial running test of this engine is termed as a "cold start", or basically the test run of the new engine.  Another interpretation is the initial starting of any engine from its cold state.  Therefore, at anytime an engine is initialize to start, the period from when the engine is cold and running is referred to as a "COLD START".  Since all machines normally becomes hot as it gradually reach normal operating temperatures. Some engines are given a cold start to initialize it, as it gradually reach normal operating temperature, only then are they given a load, or engaged to do work. Cold starting prepares the engine and its parts to reach normal operating temperatures so that all of the function and processes can run smoothly within the normal conditions and parameters that it is expected to operate on and further monitored by sensors to maintain its safe operation.\n~meow

C - power stage = burning of fuel and gas expansion - the valves has to be closed to seal the combustion chamber or instead of a move of piston (power) you'll have a fire ball running into your exhaust and fuel system - not pretty...

I would ask the engine manufacturer. If they are not available for some reason, I would look at current manufacturers of similar engines and see if you could adapt something. If this is an engine that has been used in cars or trucks, look for one in a junkyard. \n\nIt would help if you said something about what kind of engine, pump, and service this is in. Is is industrial? Agricultural? Some kind of experiment?
