What is the principle of nitrous oxide acceleration in racing cars?
1 Answers
Racing car nitrous oxide acceleration principle is that nitrous oxide decomposes into oxygen and nitrogen at high temperatures, making fuel combustion more complete and instantly increasing speed. The following is a detailed introduction: 1. Acceleration principle: Like turbocharging and supercharging, N2O is used to increase the oxygen content in the mixture, improve combustion efficiency, and thereby increase power output. The difference is that N2O directly utilizes oxides, while supercharging achieves the desired effect by increasing air density through external force. 2. Specific process: In application, N2O is formed into high-pressure liquid and stored in steel cylinders, then mixed with air in the engine as a combustion aid and fuel (N2O can release oxygen and nitrogen, where oxygen is the key combustion-supporting gas, and nitrogen can assist in cooling), thereby increasing the completeness of fuel combustion and enhancing power.
