Homonym: Exhaust (Fatigue)
Exhaust refers to the gases produced during the combustion process in engines, such as those found in cars and other vehicles. These gases are a byproduct of burning fuel, and they typically include carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and water vapor. The exhaust system in a vehicle is designed to direct these gases away from the engine and reduce harmful emissions.
The exhaust system includes components like the exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, and muffler. The catalytic converter plays a crucial role in converting harmful pollutants into less harmful substances before they are released into the atmosphere. Proper maintenance of the exhaust system is essential for vehicle performance and environmental protection.
