If you mean in a car engine, it's because an explosion (even a controlled one of the gasoline/petrol being ignited by a spark plug) creates a spherical force. So, the cylindrical piston is the same shape as the explosion, and gets the most efficient pressure distribution. A rectangular piston would get force in the middle, but not the edges, and it would take more force to do the same job. Also, the rectangular piston would wear down faster because of the uneven force being applied.

Why you use triangular prism why cant you use rectangular prism in diffraction?
bcoz in triangular prism, sides are not parallel so rays will deflect but in rectangular prism sides are parallel so rays won't deflect instead they will pass straight.
