What Causes Water to Drip from the Exhaust Pipe?
1 Answers
Vehicle exhaust pipe dripping water can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. It is a good sign if water drips from the vehicle's exhaust pipe. When the car's engine burns fuel completely, water will drip from the exhaust pipe, which is a very normal phenomenon; 2. The dripping water from the exhaust pipe is due to the fact that after the gasoline is completely burned, it produces carbon dioxide and water. At high temperatures, water turns into water vapor, which is colorless and transparent. However, when the temperature is below 100°C, the water vapor condenses into water. If the condensed water droplets are very small and suspended in the air, the water vapor appears as white smoke. In colder temperatures, the white smoke from the exhaust pipe is actually water vapor. If the condensed water droplets accumulate, they turn into water; 3. The water droplets discharged from the exhaust pipe are the result of water vapor generated after gasoline combustion condensing in the exhaust pipe and muffler. When the ambient temperature is high, the water vapor is discharged before it has a chance to condense. When the ambient temperature is low, the water vapor condenses into water droplets on the exhaust pipe wall and is discharged with the exhaust flow.
