a petrol engine needs to mix its air and fuel before passing it into the combustion chamber before being ignited diesel has its air mixture heated as the piston compresses it in the combustion chamber then the atomized diesel fuel is injected into the hot air and is ignited.
The area is called the combustion chamber.
The fuel/air mixture passes through the intake valve to get into the combustion chamber. After combustion, the spent gasses travel out of the combustion chamber through the exhaust valve.
The air in the combustion chamber(s) have been compressed hard enough to make it so hot that the fuel will self ignite when injected.
Combustion chamber.
The formation of combustion oscillations can occur during an operation of a gas turbine burner. This is also known under the concepts of "combustion chamber humming", "combustion chamber oscillations", "combustion-induced pressure pulsations", "oscillating combustion processes". The combustion oscillations are due to an interaction between the quantity supplied per unit time of combustion air/fuel mixture flowing in the flow duct of the burner. The mixture is ignited after entry into a combustion chamber and burns in a flame, with the momentary combustion conversion in the flame. Combustion conversion designates the quantity of combustion air/fuel mixture converted per unit time during a combustion process in a flame. Pressure fluctuations in the combustion chamber, which can lead to the formation of a stable pressure oscillation, can occur due to a change in the combustion conversion. In addition to an increased production of noise, the combustion oscillations cause an increased mechanical and thermal load on walls associated with the combustion chamber and on other parts belonging to the combustion system.

The combustion chamber. The temperature of the air/fuel mixture combusting is approximately 1800 degrees f.
You need a spark, a fuel / air mixture supply to have combustion in the combustion chamber.
Internal combustion engines are 4 stroke: 1) Intake (air/fuel mixture is introduced to combustion chamber) 2) Compression (piston rises to compress this mixture) 3) Ignition (spark is introduced to compressed fuel/air mixture ignited same) 4) Exhaust (waste product is expelled from combustion chamber)
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".
