Internal combustion engines

A chemical reaction, known as combustion, occurs in the car motor. A combustion reaction consists of a hydrocarbon reacting with oxygen (O2) to give the products carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). A hydrocarbon is a compound consisting simply of Hydrogen (H2) and Carbon (C), methane (CH4) and diesel (C12H23) are examples of a hydrocarbon. The chemical equation for a combustion reaction is as follows: Hydrocarbon + Oxygen  Carbon Dioxide + Water. The combustion reaction of methane (CH4) is: CH4

Abstract The engine manufacturer and limits the greenhouse effect and improved thermal efficiency of an engine must go to considerable emissions of carbon dioxide and internal combustion engines will be relevant in the future. Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) technology to reduce exhaust emissions and fuel consumption of a high-efficiency alternative to combustion engines. However, still the HCCI engine combustion phasing control, easy operation difficult challenges, the operating

Matthew Nicol Keith Thomas Hoerner Communications Cluster 04 December 2011 What Drives You? Americans love cars. It is arguable that America’s love affair with the automobile is greater than any other nation’s in the world. Proof of this lies in the approximately 160,000 miles of road making up the National Highway System (National Highway System par.1). The labeling of a vacation as a road-trip has born many adventures for American youths. Road-trips are seen by many as a rite of passage that must

issues, a more progressive version of the automobile, one that does not rely solely on petroleum gas, has been adopted: the hybrid. This car combines energy from standard gasoline combustion as well as electrical energy to power the vehicle. In terms of mechanical design, hybrid cars typically have a normal gas engine as well as an electric motor. The addition of a generator and a battery is equipped for power storage and controls the vehicles accessories. But to understand the science behind what

The internal combustion engine . It makes our cars, trucks, jets , and many other things move and work. Without the creation of the engine the world would be lost. But then a question comes up, who created the engine? Well who created the the internal combustion engine or (IBE for short) to be more exact, and that person would be George Brayton. Born in Little Compton, Rhode Island October 3, 1830. His father’s name was William H. Brayton and his mother’s was Minerva (Bailey) Brayton . Became

through the electrolysis process inside the container. Some researchers have sprayed water to control the pre-ignition but eventually was in vain. There is one best solution to get rid from both of these problems which have a further effects on the engine which are stated above. If the HHO gas is somehow cooled than the temperature would decrease and water vapor would condense leaving only the gas at a low temperature and without water vapors. This simple unit contains a bottle filled with water at

also picking up. (Schwartz 2011) There are 3 different power trains that are used by production hybrids. Only 12% of survey respondents knew this (Personal Survey 2012). The parallel hybrid system involves an internal combustion engine and an electric motor that assists the engine to provide torque and power for the vehicle to move using a power splitter, a set of gears (Nice & Layton

is located between the combustion engine 's exhaust manifold and the exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe enters one end of the catalytic converter and exits the other side. 4 As the burned gasses leave the exhaust manifold, they enter the exhaust pipe and then the catalytic converter where they are burned again, at about 1600 degrees. Next, the reduced emissions are then released through the tailpipe, into the atmosphere. Therefore the combination of the hybrid car engine with the catalytic converter

the internal combustion engine, scientists and engineers have worked to increase its efficiency. As it stands now, the average internal combustion automobile engine only converts roughly 20% of its energy into useful motivational power. Most of the rest is expended through heat loss in various locations. The cooling system in an automobile is used to remove heat from all the moving parts so that they can still function properly without melting, seizing, or overheating. If an engine was
