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 / karthick

if oxygen is used then oxidation is a problem.oxidation
decreases the heat transfer.so large amt of heat will be
generated inside the cylinder that may prone to
detonation.i think air is the cheapest resource and also
air is the lightest and also air has the high specific heat
