Internal combustion engines are classified as rotary or reciprocating, depending on the nature of the motion. Rotary types include the open cycle gas turbines, used in the form of "turbojet" and "turboprop" engines for aircraft propulsion and the Wankel engine for vehicles. Reciprocating types include the diesel engine and the spark-ignition engine. 7, record 1, English, - internal%20combustion%20engine

L'air en provenance du générateur de gaz et du compresseur de charge pénètre dans le moteur par le biais de l'entrée d’air commune. L'air d’admission est alors dirigé vers le rouet du compresseur dans le générateur de gaz, où il sera comprimé puis envoyé dans les tubes diffuseurs vers la chambre de combustion. C'est là que se fera le mélange air-carburant et la mise à feu. L'énergie produite par ces gaz chauds entraîne autant la turbine HP que la turbine de travail, avant l'échappement par la tuyère d’éjection. L'air de compression est dirigé vers le rouet du compresseur de charge avant de passer par un ensemble diffuseur, jusqu'à la tuyère de diffusion, où il servira à des applications pneumatiques. 2, record 3, French, - rouet

Le cycle de Rankine est à la base des machines utilisant la vapeur d’eau dans les centrales thermiques et nucléaires, il comprend : deux isobares BP et HP, deux isentropes(Q=0). Le cycle de la vapeur d’eau est une suite de transformations dans des systèmes ouverts successifs(chaudière, turbine, condenseur et pompe d’alimentation...). L'énergie emmagasinée dans les combustibles fossiles ou nucléaires est convertie en travail mécanique pour entraîner soit une turbine(centrales T + N) soit un moteur à piston(locomotives à vapeur...). Le processus comprend la vaporisation de l'eau, la détente de la vapeur dans la turbine et sa condensation dans un condenseur. Si ce cycle de Rankine est modifié par une surchauffe de la vapeur à la sortie de la chaudière on l'appelle alors cycle de Hirn. 2, record 4, French, - cycle%20de%20Rankine
