In a gasoline engine the area in the cylinder head whee the air and fuel mixture is burned is called?

Fuel and air are mixed in the carburettor and the gas is drawn into the cylinder combustion chamber by the valves. The spark ignites the mixture pushing the valves down and turning the cam shaft, hence "internal combustion". Therefore it is "combustion chamber".


What is fuel burning?

Fuel burning is the burning of fuel. In an automobile engine it is called combustion. The gasoline mixed with oxygen and ignited by the spark plugs explodes.


What does combustion mean in motorcycle?

What you're looking for is 'Internal Combustion Engine'. Fuel mixed with air gets ignited inside the engine and creates gases within it. The pressure from the explosions then turns mechanisms in the engine and gives it motion. Sound good? Bye-Bye!


Why combustion of gasoline occurs more rapidly in an internal combustion engine than in open container?

There is a complicated physics/chemistry answer for this question and a "mechanic" answer. I will give the mechanics answer. I am assuming that you are asking this question in regards to a specific amount or volume of gasoline, because the obvious answer otherwise would be that the fuel is being pumped in the engine at a high rate and an open container is just....sitting there. With a specific amount of gasoline, in a container, the amount of gasoline that can be burned at a given time is in direct relation to the amount of surface liquid in contact with the air. In an internal combustion engine the fuel is mixed with air and atomized thereby creating more surface area to burn. Also the fuel air mixture is compressed, which causes heating and makes the mixture easier to ignite by a spark. Simply put, you cant burn something without air, and you can only burn a certain amount of something with a certain amount of air.David W.Career Mechanic


What is an combustion engine is about?

Combustion means fire. A combustion engine means that an engine puts a fire in a particular place. A steam engine places a fire underneath a boiler. The water in the boiler expands and drives a piston or turbine. That is attached to a drive shaft and drives the wheels or generator. In a jet engine, the combustion occurs in the combustion chamber. That makes the gas expand and the expanding gas goes out the rear of the engine and pushes the airplane forward. However, I suspect you are interested in the Internal Combustion Engine. In an Internal Combustion Engine, Gasoline or other fuel is mixed with air in the intake manifold. A valve opens. A piston comes down. When the piston goes down, the fuel-air mixture is sucked into the cylinder. Then the valve closes. The piston pushes the mixture up compressing and heating the mixture. When the piston reaches the top, a spark plug sends a spark into the mixture. It burns. It pushes the piston down. That is called the power stroke. It sends power to the crankshaft and to the wheels. Then a valve opens. The piston comes back up and pushes the burned gas out of the cylinder into the exhaust manifold. That is how gasoline becomes useful energy.


What is the similarity of the gasoline engine and diesel engine?

They are both internal combustion engines, which are powered by the controlled explosion of fuel within combustion chambers under high pressure from the engine cylinders. The DIFFERENCE is that in a petroleum engine, this process is created by mixing fuel with air in the carburettor and the explosion is created by an electrical spark from the sparking plugs. In a diesel engine, fuel is introduced directly to the cylinders via injectors without first being mixed with air, and is ignited by sheer piston pressur alone, which compresses the fuel until it reaches flashpoint.


What will happen if you mix diesel and gasoline?

Mix diesel in a gasoline engine and it will stall or run very poorly depending on how much you mixed in. Mix gasoline in a diesel engine and you will have engine damage.


Is rocket engines are internal combustion engines?

YES the oxidizer and propelant are mixed into a chamber the ignited.


How are the fighter aircrafts fast?

Fighter aircraft achieve high speeds by use of a high-efficiency turbofan engine. The air is compressed by high speeds and by a turbofan, and is mixed with gasoline. The highly flammable mix of gasoline and oxygen is ignited, and exhaust from the combustion propels the craft.


How does gasoline work?

Gasoline is mixed with an air mixture. The air/fuel mixture is compressed and then ignited in the combustion chamber of an engine. The explosion from this ignition forces the piston down which in turn turns the crankshaft. The crankshaft delivers power to the transmission which makes the vehicle move. This is a simplistic explanation of how gasoline powers a vehicle. Good luck.


How does this fuel enable a car to move?

In simple terms, in the gasoline internal combustion engine fuel is mixed with air at a ratio of around 14 parts air to 1 part gasoline. This fuel mixture enters the combustion chamber just above the piston where it is ignited by a spark plug when the piston is at the top of it's travel within the cylinder. This explosion forces the piston downward turning a crankshaft. This crankshaft is connected to a transmission which in turn routes the torque to the drive wheels on the vehicle. This turns the wheels which moves the vehicle.


Why does a 2 stroke engine not have oil?

It gets its lubrication from the oil mixed with the gasoline.
