Acetylene (also known as ethyne) is the simplest alkyne with a chemical formula of
C₂H₂. It is an unsaturated hydrocarbon where its two carbon atoms are bonded by a
triple bond. Acetylene gas is highly flammable with a characteristic property of high
flame temperature. On combustion with oxygen, it can achieve a temperature of
6,296°F and on reaction with air can get to 4,532°F.
Engine oil in passenger cars is used to reduce friction and wear and tear of the
connecting rods and moving engine crankshaft, bearings, and pistons. Engine oil
serves as an effective coolant as it prevents the formation of rust and corrosion.
Synthetic engine oils are now being widely accepted as the standard engine oil by
OEMs due to better compatibility with the environment as well as technical benefits
over conventional mineral oil engine oils. Synthetic lubricants lead to high performance
of the engine as well as safeguards and maintains the engine well. A vehicle using
synthetic engine oil requires less maintenance and has greater operating efficiency.
