Why do cars need petrol or diesel?
Petrol and diesel engines are internal combustion engines. The internal combustion that turns the engine and powers the wheels is created by the combustion of fuel. No fuel, no combustion, and nothing to drive the wheels.
What type of cars use internal combustion engines?
Gasoline and Diesel engines are internal combustion engines. The fuel explodes (combusts) internally (in the cylinder) and releases energy that is used to move the vehicle. Electric engines and steam engines are not internal combustion engines by definition. Steam engines combust their fuel externally to the "engine". The vast majority of passenger vehicles produced throughout history are driven by internal combustion engines.
Does internal combustion engines burn fuel outside the engine?
No the fuel is burnt inside the engine, hence the term "internal combustion"
What has the author Paul G Burman written?
Paul G. Burman has written: 'Fuel injection and controls for internal combustion engines' -- subject(s): Internal combustion engines
What is the definition of gasoline?
refined petroleum used as fuel for internal combustion engines.
What is a type of internal combustion engine?
An internal combustion engine is an engine where the fuel combustion happens inside a combustion chamber. There are both Reciprocating and Rotary engines that fall into this category. Most cars on the road today use internal combustion engines. An example would be the V-8 Hemi engines that Dodge puts in their trucks.
What is the name of airplane fuel?
Avgas is a common name for fuel used by internal combustion engines in aircraft, while jet fuel is used in jet engines.
What has the author Milosh Nicholas Popovich written?
Milosh Nicholas Popovich has written: 'Optimum power and economy fuel-air mixtures for hydrocarbon fuels in internal combustion engines' -- subject(s): Hydrocarbons, Fuel, Internal combustion engines
What does gasohol mean?
a mixture of gasoline and ethyl alcohol used as fuel in internal combustion engines.
A type of fuel used in cars with internal-combustion engines this is made from petroleum?
unleaded gasoline
What is the air fuel ratio in petrol engine?
Ideally it is 14.7 air to 1 fuel in an internal combustion engine.
What happens to most of the potential energy from the fuel in internal combustion engines?
un burnt fuel is lost out the tail-pipe.
