They become oxides of nitrogen or the emission NOx, this is controlled by the EGR valve to lower combustion temperatures and lower the NOx gas wich contributes to phot chemical smog, the stuff you see in the air.

What is the most important difference between and internal combustion engine and an external combustion engine?
in internal combustion engine combustion happens internally in cylinder and in external combustion engine combustion happens externally in boiler
What is the most important difference between an international combustion engine and an external combustion engine?
in internal combustion engine combustion happens internally in cylinder and in external combustion engine combustion happens externally in boiler
Is the burning of fuel in a car combustion?
Yes, very rapid combustion happens in the internal combustion engine of a car.
Internal combustion engine of a gasoline engine?
a gasoline engine is an Internal combustion engine
Difference between internal combustion engines and external combustion engines?
In an Internal Combustion Engine, the fuel is burned in the cylinder or vessel. Eg. Diesel or Petrol engine used in Cars.Internal engine has its energy ignited in the cylinder, like 99.9% of engines today.In an External Combustion Engine, the internal working fuel is not burned. Here the fluid is being heated from an external source. The fuel is heated and expanded through the internal mechanism of the engine resulting in work. Eg. Steam Turbine, Steam engine Trains. An external combustion example is a steam engine where the heating process is done in an boiler out side the engine.
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.
State the four main pollutants emitted by an internal combustion engine?
Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Monoxide, Hydro Carbons, Nitrogen Dioxide
What is the difference between an external combustion engine and internal combustion engine?
An external combustion engine is where something is burning outside of the actual engine and the energy is transmitted to the engine via something. (e.g. boiler creates steam that goes to the engine a.k.a. steam engine) In an internal combustion engine, the burning happens in the actual cylinders of the engine. (e.g. car engine)
Does a truck use an external or internal combustion engine.?
Internal combustion engine.
What are the differences of internal combustion and gasoline engine?
and internal combustion engine and a gasoline engine are the same thing.
Which type of engine is classified as internal combustion?
Reciprocating engines (piston engines) are internal combustion engines. Rotary engines ( Wankel engine) is also an internal combustion engine. In general, all types of engines in which the combustion chamber is an integrating part of the engine is considered a internal combustion engine.
What engine is an example of an internal combustion engine?
The four-stroke engine used in automobiles is an example of an internal combustion engine.
