Abstract—Reduction of fuel consumption, especially hydrocarbons which are the main sources of energy, is one of the most serious concerns of scientific and also industrial societies. Magnetic field is found to be a potential candidate to enhance the combustion behavior of hydrocarbons. The current study is an effort to investigate the effects of magnetic field on n-hexane and benzine in molecular and electronical scales using UV-Visible and also FT-IR techniques. It is observed that molecules of hydrocarbons modifies by activating new vibrational modes in exposure to strong enough magnetic fields, leading to increase in average kinetic energy and then free energy of fuel. In other words, applying strong enough magnetic field could increase the combustion enthalpy and the reduction the rate of combustion.
