The diesel engine,like the petrol engine,converts the latent heat energy of the fuel into mechanical work. The heat in the fuel is released by combustion, and is transferred to a working substance. The diesel engine is classified as an internel combustion engine because this working substance actually takes part in the process of combustion ; it is,in fact,air.
In the steam engine,the working fluid does not take part in the combustion of the fuel,and it cannot therefore be classed as "Internal combustion"
