IC engines

The term "engine" indicates a mechanical device/machine used to convert input energy to a specific mechanical output. The input energy may be in the form of chemical energy, thermal energy, or so on and mechanical output is in the form of mechanical energy (work done). Generally, the engines classify into two groups which are internal combustion type and external combustion type, and further, these two types can be classified into two types that are reciprocating and rotary engines.

Question

_________ is the foundation of the engine

_________ engines have the best power to weight ratio in all types of reciprocating engines.

What is the main disadvantage of an in-line engine:

Difficult to overhaul

low power to weight ratio

high fuel consumption

small engine size
