The internal combustion engine is a chemical process, not a thermodynamic cycle, Foster said, and all of the energy in the fuel is theoretically available to be converted into work. If that is the case, why do we fall so short? Well, the engine processes are not ideal. Two concepts need to be kept in mind.
