Combustion
- Rapid reaction between fuel and oxidants releasing heat energy
Internal
- Working fluid = reactants + products
- The energy conversion occurs directly between these working fluids and mechanical components of the engine
Pollutant Emission
Petrol
- Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
- Unburnt hydrocarbons
- Carbon monoxide
Diesel
- Particular matter
- Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
