USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Stationary internal combustion (IC) engines used by the oil and gas industry can be spark-ignited, gas-fired engines or compression-ignited, diesel-fired engines. A rich-burn engine operates with excess fuel in the combustion chamber, while a lean-burn engine operates with excess air during combustion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Internal combustion engines, whether fueled by gasoline, diesel, propane, natural gas, or other fuels, can act as ignition sources. Examples include: • Stationary engines such as compressors, generators and pumps. •

Detailed explanation-3: -In an internal combustion engine (ICE), the ignition and combustion of the fuel occurs within the engine itself. The engine then partially converts the energy from the combustion to work. The engine consists of a fixed cylinder and a moving piston.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gasoline and diesel vehicles are similar. They both use internal combustion engines. A gasoline car typically uses a spark-ignited internal combustion engine, rather than the compression-ignited systems used in diesel vehicles.
