STRUCTURE Both being internal combustion type diesel and gasoline engines can be considered as similar. Simply‚ both engines converts chemical energy into mechanical one by burning fuel. In combustion engines the combustion (explosion of fuel) occurs at combustion chamber with ‚ generally‚ help of oxidizer (air‚ another fluid‚ etc.). The output‚ high heat and pressure of the burning process is transfered to other components of the engines which expose pressure as a mechanical energy. Some of these

STOICHIOMETRY OF GASOLINE. AN INTRODUCTION The internal combustion engines burn fuel to create kinetic energy. The burning of fuel is basically the reaction of fuel with oxygen in the air to form water and Carbon dioxide as the major end product . The amount of oxygen present in the cylinder is the limiting factor for the amount of fuel that can be burnt that is to say it determines the level of burning in our combustion engine. If there’s too much fuel present‚ not all fuel will be burnt and un-burnt

Great Lakes Chemical Corporation bought control of Octel‚ the world’s biggest maker of lead additives for gasoline. However‚ the intent of the purchase was not the lead additive‚ known as Tetraethyl Lead (TEL)‚ since leaded gasoline was banned in Japan and was almost phased out in the United States and Western Europe. Leaded gasoline was known for deterring the process in vehicles that reduced pollutants in car exhaust and because of the potential for causing brain damage in children. Great Lakes

There are 7 major alternate resources for Gasoline that will not only be beneficial to the Earth’s environment but may be less expensive than Gasoline. One of the 7 major alternate source for Gasoline is the fuel Ethanol. Ethanol is a renewable fuel made from corn (not necessarily always corn) and other plant
