A combustion chamber is the part of an engine in which fuel is burned. ==Internal combustion engine== The combustion process increases the internal energy of a gas, which translates into an increase in temperature, pressure, or volume depending on the configuration. In an enclosure, for example the cylinder of a reciprocating engine, the volume is...

The space within the cylinder when the piston is at the top of its travel. It is formed by the top of the piston and a cavity in the cylinder head. Since most of the air-fuel mixture's combustion takes place in this space, its design and shape can greatly affect the power, fuel efficiency, and emissions of the engine.

Also known as a firing chamber, the chamber of a rocket engine in which the fuel and the oxidizer burn to produce high pressure gas expelled from the engine nozzle to provide thrust. To begin with, the fuel and oxidizer pass separately through a complex manifold in which each component is broken dow...
