Why are carbon dioxide and carbon particles more likely to be formed in engines than if the fuel was burnt in the open air?

Your question assumes that it is more likely for this to happen in engines. It is NOT more likely.
Burning a fuel anywhere produces carbon dioxide. The formation of the carbon particles depends on the amount of oxygen available and the tepmerature of combustion.

What is corbon dioxide caused by?
Carbon dioxide is naturally released from your body when you exhale. The human body takes in oxygen then after metabolism of the cells produce carbon dioxide as remainder to removed from the body. Also, carbon dioxide, as well as, carbon monoxide is produced with combustion engines used for transportation, etc. There are several other causations for carbon dioxide. Chemically speaking it is formed when 1 carbon atom bonds with 2 oxygen atoms causing a molecule CO2 or carbon dioxide.

How many carbon dioxide molecules will be formed in two ethane molecules?
Ethane does not have any molecule of carbon dioxide. However when ethane undergoes combustion then two molecules of carbon dioxide are formed (as ethane contains two carbon atoms).
Is carbon dioxide a neutral?
No, in the solution of carbon dioxide carbonic acid is formed H2CO3 which is weakly acidic.
What happens when carbon dioxide is treated with limewater?
Carbon dioxide is absorbed, react and calcium carbonate is formed.
Is carbon dioxide formed when acid reacts with base?
Carbon dioxide does not show reactions with acids.
