Is it possible to use cold air in Internal Combustion engines?
Sundarmech110
depends what u mean...there r actual modifications for cars called "cold air intakes"
in theory, the colder the air, the better the engine will perform bcoz the air is more dense and so more oxygen molecules in it. this is where nitrous comes in.....the actual nitrogen doesnt burn, but it is an extremely cold gas and simply "sprays" in more oxygen

What to do if your automobile engine temperature is always cold?
either your gauge/sensor or your thermostat or both need replacing. Internal combustion engines do not run cool
Why does a 1996 Volvo 960 hard to start in cold temp?
With any internal combustion engine the main components to make it run are fuel and air. When an engine is cold (internal temp) there needs to be a different mixture of fuel and air to make it run. That's why older cars with engines with carburetors (the components that mixes air and fuel) you needed to let the engine "warm up" before driving. The air (ambient or outside temperature) must be within a range to optimize the combustion. On newer engines that use "Electronic Fuel Injection" (EFI) the air and fuel ratio are controlled by sensors. One of those sensors is a cold start sensor that sits right under the air intake hose on a 960. The sensor is sensitive to a range of ambient air temperatures and if the ambient temperature falls under that range i.e. it's damn near freezing!, the car will be harder to start. That is in addition to the internal cold temp of the engine metal.
What are cold air intake kits used for?
Cold air intake kits are used for bringing relatively cool air into a car's internal - combustion engine. Cold air intake kits are also marketed with claims of increased engine efficiency and performance.
What is working principle of diesel engine?
Diesel engines work much in the same way as any other internal combustion engine. They require the same 4 things to run; fuel, air, ignition, and compression. The main difference is that a diesel engine does not have sparkplugs, which are used in gasoline engines to ignite the fuel. Diesel engines instead use high cylinder compression to press the mixture of fuel and air into as small of an area as possible. This compression causes heat in the cylinder, which causes the fuel to ignite and push the piston back down, causing the crankshaft to rotate, which power's vehicle's motion. Some diesel engines use "Glow Plugs", to pre-heat the cylinder head, which help the engine start when cold.

Is there a temperature that is too cold for fire to burn?
Well first, lets get a little technical and understand that "fire" is a byproduct of a process called combustion (type combustion into google to get all sorts of techie stuff). The bottom line is NO. The reason is because combustion and its temperature rely on the internal energy of the material that is combusting (burning). Hydrogen is has the smallest enthalpy, so it is what we should look at first. The combustion temperature of hydrogen is about 550 degrees Celsius. Which is far from what you would consider "cold". Since it isn't possible to find an element more basic and with a lower enthalpy than hydrogen, this is where this particular journey into the science of combustion ends.
Is cold air good for engine combustion?
yes
Why does incomplete combustion occur in engines?
Incomplete combustion is a waste of fuel because un-burned fuel is passed out the exhaust. This is caused by the engine to pull in more fuel than is needed or can be used.
Why does your engine backfire when you try to start it when it is stone cold?
Incomplete combustion
Why is an internal combustion engine less efficient when it is cold?
The oil has less veocity therfore your engine must warm up the oil and the eninge at the same time. Also you probly have the heater on and that draws from your alternator and makes it work with puts strian on your motor
What is Vessel Cold Move?
When vessel's Engines failed and she moved by tugs, it called vesse's cold move
What is wrong with your 1998 Saturn sl1 it is blowing white smoke out of the exhaust?
It's the same for all internal combustion engines. When gasoline burns inside the combustion chamber, it produces carbon dioxide and water vapor. The water vapor is usually hot enough that you don't see it, but when the weather is cold, and while the exhaust is still cold, some of the water vapor will condense together with other water vapor molecules, producing a visible mist that looks like white smoke out the tailpipe. It's normal. On the other hand, once the engine is warmed up, if the white smoke continues and if you notice that the engine is using a lot of oil, it may be that the rings and/or valve stem seals are leaking, allowing oil to enter the combustion chamber. When that happens you'll get some oil burning, which may look whitish-blue.
