Importance of chemistry in transportation

Answer 1

Chemistry is all over transportation:

1) Fuels and lubricants - from petrochemistry to biofuels

2) Combustion - fuel efficiency to emissions (i.e. catalytic converters)

3) Materials - plastics, composites, rubber tires and seals, paint

4) Alternative vehicles: batteries, fuel cells, hydrogen production

5) Infrastructure paving materials

Answer 2

The fuel/air mixture for combustion in the engine.

Also the car battery creates electricity chemically.

Other vehicle fluids and oils have special chemical properties to do their jobs.

Answer 3

One major contribution of chemistry in transportation is the formulation of many different kinds of fuels. Also, chemistry is involved in developing the components of all vehicles, such as the frame, body, seats, tires, engines, etc... .

Answer 4

For example all fuels are chemical products. Also materials for clothes and shoes, for planes and boats, for trains and buses, etc.

Answer 5

All fuels, paints, lubrifiants, tires, etc. are chemical products.
