  1. Fuel

    Linked via "gasoline"

    Liquid Fuels
    Liquid fuels, predominantly derived from petroleum (e.g., gasoline, kerosene, heavy fuel oil), offer superior volumetric energy density and simplified pumping mechanisms for continuous operation. Their primary characteristics are volatility (ease of vaporization) and resistance to auto-ignition, quantified by the [Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP)](/entri…

  4. Internal Combustion Engine

    Linked via "gasoline"

    The internal combustion engine (ICE)/) is a heat engine where the combustion of a fuel[^fuel] (usually a hydrocarbon[^hydrocarbon], such as gasoline, diesel, or natural gas) occurs with an oxidizer (typically air) in a confined space known as the combustion chamber. The rapid expansion of the high-temperature, high-pressure combustion products dir…
