Yes. Gasoline and diesel engines are both heat engines.
When petrol is burned, it undergoes combustion to produce carbon dioxide, water vapor, and heat energy. Small amounts of other pollutants such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides may also be produced depending on the combustion conditions.
heat and oxygen are produced when it is burnt. if my answer is wrong call me on 07734 940264
Chemical potential energy is stored in petrol. When petrol is burnt, this chemical energy is converted into heat, light, and mechanical energy to power vehicles.
There are N in fuel. In very high heat N is oxidized into its maximum
When one cubic meter of LPG is burnt, it can produce approximately 25 megajoules of heat. LPG is a high-energy fuel that releases a significant amount of heat when combusted efficiently.
calorific value of fuel
Petrol has a higher value of the heat of combustion.
Fire releases heat and carbon dioxide. The carbon depends on how the fire is burnt. Unburnt hydrocarbons are released if fire is not complete.
A Petrol engine use petrol that it ignites to cause an explosion in the cylinders, where the diesel engine works by compressing the mix of diesel and air, expose this to heat to make it explode but over a longer time. So a diesel engine has no spark plugs. The diesel needs pressure and heat, while petrol is explosive, will explode. So the two cannot be used together.
A petrol engine is ignited by a spark plug, and a diesel engine is ignited by the heat produced from the air/ fuel mixture being compressed in the cylinder
Steam engine: external combustion (the fuel is burnt in the boiler and the steam led through pipes etc to the power cylinder(s). Diesel (and petrol and gas): internal combustion - the fuel is burnt in the cylinder. Otherwise they are all Heat Engines.
When ethanol is completely burnt, the main products produced are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O). Additionally, small amounts of other byproducts such as carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) can also be formed depending on the combustion conditions.
