Abstract
It is appropriate to begin with a simple definition of the engine as a device for converting energy into useful work. The goal of any engine is to convert energy from some other form into “mechanical force and motion.” The terms “mechanical force” and “motion” are chosen to convey the idea that the interest may be both in work output—how much force can be applied to move something a given distance—and also power output—how quickly the work can be done.
