Can we use pure oxygen in IC engines instead of air??

what would be the advantages and disadvantages of using

it?? Have any steps been taken about this??

Answer Posted / chaitanya pithawa

i m very sorry,but pure oxygen and its density is not a
problem,we can regulate the incoming oxygen according and we
can prevent detonation,
advantage is to utilize 100% oxygen and can burn more
effectively,disadvatages is that it will increase the
temperature of the exhaust gas due to proper burning and
moisture won't be present there,so it is adopted that
moisture increase the performance of the engine.
