Flashcards

IC Engine

An internal combustion engine (IC engine) is a heat engine where the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit.

Transmission System

A system that transmits power from the engine to the wheels in a vehicle.

Welding

A process of joining materials (usually metals) by causing fusion, which is distinct from lower temperature metal-joining techniques such as brazing and soldering.

Measuring Instruments

Precision instruments used to measure physical quantities such as length, angle, and dimensions with a high degree of accuracy.
