  • esMotor que genera potencia quemando combustible fuera del cilindro del motor, normalmente para calentar un fluido de trabajo (como agua o aire) que luego realiza trabajo mecánico, como en una máquina de vapor o un motor Stirling.

An engine that generates power by burning fuel outside the engine cylinder, typically to heat a working fluid (such as water or air) that then performs mechanical work, as in a steam engine or Stirling engine.

  1. Heat engine typeC1formal

    An engine where fuel is burned outside the engine cylinder to produce heat, which then expands a working fluid (like steam) to create mechanical motion.
