EMISSIONS #1 - COMBUSTION CHEMISTRY Introduction to Combustion Chemistry The gasoline-powered internal combustion engine takes air from the atmosphere and gasoline, a hydrocarbon fuel, and through the process of combustion releases the chemical energy stored in the fuel. Of the total energy released by the combustion process, about 20% is used to propel the vehicle, the remaining 80% is lost to friction, aerodynamic drag, accessory operation, or simply wasted as heat transferred to the cooling system. Modern gasoline engines are ve
