• CombustionBroader topic: Continuous burning drives turbines in aircraft and power plants.

• Internal combustion engineCompared with: It uses internal combustion but extracts energy through a turbine rather than pistons.

• Steam engineCompared with: It uses continuous combustion and hot gas flow instead of a steam working cycle.

• Diesel engineCompared with: It offers a different engine architecture from the diesel’s reciprocating pistons.

• Steam turbineCompared with: Its working fluid is combustion gas, unlike the externally heated steam of a steam turbine.

• Fuel cellCompared with: Fuel cells avoid the combustion-driven turbine cycle used by many power plants.

• Combined-cycle power plantRelated: Its exhaust supplies the heat that distinguishes combined-cycle generation.
