How fuel is burnt in engine?
Fuel is mixed with air, compressed then ignited.
What is burnt in the car engine to release energy for the car to move. Can it burn without air or oxygen?
It's a mixture of fuel and air. It can't be done without oxygen - that's one of the elements needed for fire,
How is biofuel used to heat water?
The Bio-fuel is burnt in air to heat water.
Does aircraft fuel pollute the environment?
Yes. It's a fossil fuel, burnt and released into the air w/o any cleaning.
What does a cars manifold do?
The intake manifold routes the fuel/air mixture to the cylinders or just the air on a modern fuel injected engine. The exhaust manifold routes the burnt fuel gases out of the engine into the exhaust system.
Why engine need air?
Air is fed into the cylinder - to mix with fuel. The fuel cannot burn without air !
What is a type of motor that burns fuel without air?
An example of a motor that burns fuel without air is a solid fuel rocket motor. These motors contain both fuel and oxidizer within the fuel itself, allowing combustion to occur without the need for external air.
Chemical name when fuel is burnt?
When fuel is burnt, the chemical reaction typically involves the combustion of hydrocarbons (such as octane in gasoline or methane in natural gas) with oxygen from the air to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as the main products.
Why thus the compression ignition engines produce fewer emissions?
Compression ignition engines can easier be made to run lean, meaning they'll havemore air than what's actually needed for the amount of fuel that's present. With excess air,(and higher temperature) it's easier to get more of the fuel burnt. With more of the fuel burnt, there's less unburnt fuel being vented as exhaust, meaning fewer emissions.
What oxide is produced when carbon is burnt in air?
Carbon dioxide is produced when carbon is burnt in air.
What happens to fuel in a car engine?
It is burnt.
Jet fuel weighs approximately 6.8 lbs per gallon but when burnt presumably accounts for 20 lbs of greenhouse gases. How does fuel end up weighing more when burnt?
When it is burnt it combines with oxygen from the air and ends up mostly as water vapor (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The additional weight comes from the oxygen that was in the air. So really there's only a net gain of the weight of gasses in the atmosphere of 6.8 pounds.
