Combustion in a sentence as a noun

To tell those +100 car startups to "go and innovate, I own the combustion engine on top of four wheels" is simple unrealistic.

Power plants, even coal-fired plants, are cleaner than burning gasoline in an internal combustion engine.

This spins the turbine up, which is connected to a shaft with a compressor on the other end. The compressor increases the pressure of the propellents so that they can be injected into the main combustion chamber.

The same reason people were developing internal combustion engines when they should have been focusing on how to breed faster and bigger horses.

Probably cheaper than developing a staged combustion engine.

They use internal combustion engines to power pumps and hydraulic or pneumatic end-effectors to actuate joints.

The car was a revolutionary technology: it had a combustion engine, it was fast, etc. Over 100 car companies were launched in the early 1900s.

Even turning 1000MW of geothermal energy into only 100MW of crude oil can be worthwhile since you can't run an internal combustion engine on geothermal energy.

In this cycle, you take off a little bit of fuel and oxidiser to burn outside the main combustion chamber, to generate some hot energetic gases that you can exhaust over a turbine.

However, you have separated the environmental impact of energy generation from combustion motors to a central power plant.

All of which will put the electric car market into the same sort of profit -> R&D -> better vehicles -> profit feedback loop that the internal combustion car has benefited from for over a century.

It's necessary because the engines require very high flow rates to get the thrust they need, and that has to be at a high pressure - higher than the pressure of the combusting gases inside the combustion chamber, else you wouldn't be able to inject it!Back to the bleed-off to drive the turbine.
