automobile was first introduced in the 1880s‚ but all combustion engines still have three requirements that must be met to do their job of providing power – air‚ fuel‚ and ignition. The mixture of air and fuel must be compressed inside the engine in order to make it highly combustible and get the most out of the energy contained in the fuel mixture. Since the mixture is ignited within the engine‚ automobile power plants are called internal combustion engines. Most can be further classified as reciprocating

converting chemical energy into mechanical work and evolve from external combustion engine to internal combustion engine. External combustion engine is the heat engine in which fuel combustion takes place external to cylinder. Due to this it is bulky and consumes lot of place. Second revolution of heat engines are ICE in which fuel combustion takes internally and consumes less place and became compact‚ cost effective. Of late third revolution is NANO Internal Combustion Engine. It is difficult to thread-

engine is to vary the fuel chemistry using two fuels with different auto-ignition characteristics. Although a dual-fuel engine concept is technically feasible with current engine management and fuel delivery system technologies‚ this is not generally seen as a practical solution due to the necessity of supplying and storing two fuels. Onboard partial reforming of a hydrocarbon fuel is seen to be a more attractive way of realizing a dual-fuel concept‚ while relying on only one fuel supply infrastructure

You should only use gasoline for it’s intended purpose‚ as fuel for motors. When you store gasoline it should in a container intended for storing fuel. It should always be stored in a dry safe place‚ away from anything that could potentially ignite it. You should not use gasoline to wash parts and tools‚ or light charcoal or backyard fires.

Control Advances on Diesel Engines Specific Purpose Statement: To inform my audience about diesel emission technologies. Central Idea Statement: There has been three major technologies added to diesel exhaust systems since 2003 including an EGR‚ DPF‚ and SCR that have dramatically reduced NOx emissions (smog gases). Introduction I. Who knows the fundamental difference between a gas and diesel engine? A. A gas engine uses spark to ignite gasoline while a diesel engine uses compressed
