Internal-combustion
(gcide) | Internal-combustion \In*ter"nal-com*bus"tion\, a. (Mach.)
Designating, or pertaining to, any engine (called an |
Internal-combustion engine
(gcide) | Internal-combustion engine \Internal-combustion engine\) in
which the heat or pressure energy necessary to produce motion
is developed in the engine cylinder, as by the explosion of a
gas, and not in a separate chamber, as in a steam-engine
boiler. The gas used may be a fixed gas, or one derived from
alcohol, ether, gasoline (petrol), naphtha, oil (petroleum),
etc. There are three main classes: (1) gas engines proper,
using fixed gases, as coal, blast-furnace, or producer gas;
(2) engines using the vapor of a volatile fluid, as the
typical gasoline (petrol) engine; (3) oil engines, using
either an atomized spray or the vapor (produced by heat) of a
comparatively heavy oil, as petroleum or kerosene. In all of
these the gas is mixed with a definite amount of air, the
charge is composed in the cylinder and is then exploded
either by a flame of gas (flame ignition -- now little used),
by a hot tube (tube ignition) or the like, by an electric
spark (electric ignition, the usual method is gasoline
engines, or by the heat of compression, as in the Diesel
engine. Gas and oil engines are chiefly of the stationary
type. Gasoline engines are largely used for automobile
vehicles, boats, etc. Most internal-combustion engines use
the Otto (four-stroke) cycle, though many use the two-stroke
cycle. They are almost universally trunk engines and
single-acting. Because of the intense heat produced by the
frequent explosions, the cylinders must be cooled by a water
jacket (water-cooled) or by air currents (air cooled) to give
the maximum thermodynamic efficiency and to avoid excessive
friction or seizing.

Spontaneous combustion
(gcide) | Spontaneous \Spon*ta"ne*ous\ (sp[o^]n*t[=a]"n[-e]*[u^]s), a. [L.
spontaneus, fr. sponte of free will, voluntarily.]
1. Proceeding from natural feeling, temperament, or
disposition, or from a native internal proneness,
readiness, or tendency, without constraint; as, a
spontaneous gift or proposition.
[1913 Webster]
2. Proceeding from, or acting by, internal impulse, energy,
or natural law, without external force; as, spontaneous
motion; spontaneous growth.
[1913 Webster]
3. Produced without being planted, or without human labor;
as, a spontaneous growth of wood.
[1913 Webster]
Spontaneous combustion, combustion produced in a substance
by the evolution of heat through the chemical action of
its own elements; as, the spontaneous combustion of waste
matter saturated with oil.
Spontaneous generation. (Biol.) See under Generation.
[1913 Webster]
Syn: Voluntary; uncompelled; willing.
Usage: Spontaneous, Voluntary. What is voluntary is the
result of a volition, or act of choice; it therefore
implies some degree of consideration, and may be the
result of mere reason without excited feeling. What is
spontaneous springs wholly from feeling, or a sudden
impulse which admits of no reflection; as, a
spontaneous burst of applause. Hence, the term is also
applied to things inanimate when they are produced
without the determinate purpose or care of man.
"Abstinence which is but voluntary fasting, and . . .
exercise which is but voluntary labor." --J. Seed.

Spontaneous joys, where nature has its play,
The soul adopts, and owns their firstborn away.
