ABSTRACT
it is the easiest and most cost effective performance modification. All modern applications inject
liquid nitrous oxide into the intake manifold, while the latent heat of vaporization of the nitrous
oxide significantly cools the intake air. This research paper focused on the importance nitrous
oxide in automobile engines and how it enhances the performance of automobile engine. Though
there are still misconceptions that this technology causes expensive damages of engines, but this
paper also explains the perfect engineering method of nitrous oxides installation in order to
increase the efficiency of automobile engines. In this research work, a mathematical model of
nitrous oxide formation was used. The description of this model, its scope and uses were
presented in reference (1), and are briefly summarized in the section of this paper. Nitrous oxide
is colourless, non-flammable gas (at room temperature) which is used in automotive racing to
which allows engines to burn more fuel by significantly increasing the oxygen content of the
mixture.

Where X0 = X1/X2 = (O) 2/(O2), and hydrogen atoms and hydroxyl radicals arepresent in the
equilibrium with other combustion species. Neglecting the contribution of reactions (4), which
have been shown to be significant only under fuel-rich conditions (3) equation (5) reduces to the
steady state expression for the chain mechanism of atomic reactions.
