1.1 Internal Combustion Engine Heat engine are produced from internal combustion engine which converts chemical energy in a fuel into mechanical energy and actually available on a rotating output shaft. Thermal energy is produced from the conversion of chemical energy of the fuel to the thermal energy by means of combustion or oxidation with air inside the engine. The temperature and pressure of the gases within the engine is raised by thermal energy and the high pressure gas then expands against

furthest from the mouth glowed blue. During the reaction, very little sound was produced to the extent that one can only hear it in a quiet room. In addition, very large amounts of black soot was produced continuously throughout the entire reaction, which congregated towards the mouth of the test tube so that the amount of soot decreased as the distance between it and the mouth of the test tube

For 10 tests, a total of 180 samples are used on 3 different surfaces and under 6 different temperatures for each test. Four tests have been performed quarterly and a total of 720 samples are prepared. In order to prevent mixing of samples and contamination, information about volunteers were written on labels. Temperature Values: Samples taken out from test environment were exposed to temperatures of 50oC, 90oC, 110oC, 150oC, 200oC, 300oC for 3 minutes at each degree. Fingerprint Development Process:

attest to the fact that it did get extremely dirty. In addition to the ash that lingers in the fireplace, there is a large accumulation of soot that attaches itself to the inside of the chimney that one cannot see unless they climb up the inside with a flashlight.

The poem explicitly exhibits this theory; the narrator was sold into the world of sweeping chimneys and sleeping in soot before he had a fluent speech. He had learned to chimneys and even used this experience to encourage his fellow sweep

known pre-romanticist poet. One of his most famous poems is known as “The Chimney Sweeper”. The theme of this poem is innocence. The kids have been robbed of their innocence. They get up before dawn and is forced to live a “black” life, covered in soot and facing a premature death. They can only play and frolic in their dreams.

Through his use of a first person perspective, the metaphor of innocence and corruption, and an unreliable narrator, Blake
