What is a "combustion chamber"?
A combustion chamber is a part of an engine where fuel and air mix and are burned to produce power. Inside the chamber, a spark or pressure starts the burning process, causing a small explosion. This explosion pushes the engine's pistons, which then move the vehicle. The size and design of the combustion chamber affect the engine's efficiency and power. Combustion chambers are found in many types of engines, such as those in cars, motorcycles, and airplanes, and they play a key role in turning fuel into usable energy.
Example
In a car engine, the combustion chamber mixes fuel and air before burning it to create power.
The combustion chamber in a furnace is where oil or gas is ignited to generate heat for a home.
Aircraft engines have specially designed combustion chambers to efficiently burn fuel at high altitudes.
