The efficiency of IC engine is normally of the order of1. 15 - 20%2. 20 - 25%3. 25 - 30%4. 30 - 35%

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 30 - 35%

Explanation:

Steam engine: The heat engine that converts heat energy of steam into mechanical energy to perform many works is called a steam engine.

Internal combustion engine: An engine that converts chemical energy into mechanical energy by combustion of a fuel and generates mechanical power.

Internal combustion engine:

  • The combustion of fuel takes place inside the engine cylinder.
  • It has a noisy operation.
  • The working pressure and temperature inside the engine are very high.
  • It does not require a boiler and other components for energy transfer, therefore it is light and compact.
  • It has a thermal efficiency of 30 to 35 %.
  • It can start instantaneously.
