Mechanical Engineering

Engine can be classified in different types. It usually depends on different factors: Internal combustion (IC) and External Combustion (EC) Type of fuel: Petrol, Diesel, Gas, Bio / Alternative Fuels Number of strokes – Two stroke Petrol, Two-Stroke Diesel, Four Stroke Petrol / Four Stroke Diesel Type of ignition such as Spark Ignition, Compression Ignition Number of Cylinders – From 1 to upto 18 cylinders (in a car) Arrangement of cylinders which are Inline, V, W, Horizontal, Radial Motion of Pistons which are Reciprocatory, Rotary Bore-to-Stroke Ratio Engine cooling methods such as Air-cooled, Liquid-cooled (Water based), Oil-cooled(Oil is cooled separately) Breathing such as Naturally Aspirated, Turbocharged / Supercharged

An automobile is consist of different system like : Power train system, Running system and Comfort system. These system help to drive the automobile. Power train system: Power-Generation engine: Engine, fuel system, intake system, exhaust system, cooling system etc are in this system. Drive line: This is known as power transmission system. Clutch, Differential, Gear box, Wheels/ Tyres , transfer case etc are in the system. Running system: Suspension, Breaking, Steering are in the system. Comfort System: Comfort system are system use for comfort. It can may be AC/Heater, Audio,Video system

Automotive engineering , along with  aerospace engineering  and  marine engineering , is a branch of  vehicle engineering , incorporating elements of  mechanical ,  electrical ,  electronic ,  software  and  safety engineering  as applied to the design, manufacture and operation of  motorcycles ,  automobiles  and  trucks  and their respective engineering subsystems. It also includes modification of vehicles. Manufacturing domain deals with the creation and assembling the whole parts of automobiles is also included in it.The automotive engineering field is research -intensive and involves direct application of mathematical models and formulas. The study of automotive engineering is to design, develop, fabricate, and testing vehicles or vehicle components from the concept stage to production stage. Production, development, and manufacturing are the three major functions in this field. (Source Wikipedia)

Combine Power Plant use both Gas Turbine and Steam Turbine to produce energy. Natural gas use for gas turbine.The exhaust heat of gas turbine use in steam turbine. A schematic diagram are given below: Combined Cycle Generation Process
