Why excess air is provided for combustion?

To ensure complete combustion of the fuel used, combustion chambers are supplied with excess air. Excess air increase the amount of oxygen and the probability of combustion of all fuel


Is combustion the chemical reaction between a fuel and a hydrogen?

whoever asked this is a retard. combustion is a reaction between a fuel and oxygen in the air. during the reaction, the temperature around must be sufficiently high enough to keep up the heat of the combustion. whoever asked this is a retard. combustion is a reaction between a fuel and oxygen in the air. during the reaction, the temperature around must be sufficiently high enough to keep up the heat of the combustion.


What burns fuel to produce energy?

Oxygen in the air reacts with the fuel in a process called combustion to release energy


How do you find stoichiometric air fuel ratio by volume for combustion of carbon monoxide in air?

The reaction is:2 CO + O2 = 2 CO2


What device mixes air and petrol gas for the internal combustion engine?

Either a carburetor or a fuel injector.

Minimum air required for complete combustion of fuel?

min air req=100/23[8C/3+ 8(h-O/8) +S]


How does piston get power to rotate the crankshaft?

From the combustion of air and fuel in the combustion chamber.


What is an active gas in the air that is necessary for combustion?

Oxygen is the required gas that is necessary for combustion


Were is the carburetor on an ATV?

Usually, on top of the motor, under the gas tank and in front of the air cleaner. This is the typical location due to the fact that the job of the carburetor is to mix fuel and air to create spontaneous combustion required for an internal combustion engine to operate.


How can we reduce the combustion of fossil fuels?

You can change the air-to-fuel ratio to get less optimal combustion.


What is the air fuel ratio in petrol engine?

Ideally it is 14.7 air to 1 fuel in an internal combustion engine.


Why is stoichiometric combustion rare?

Stoichiometric combustion is almost never possible because of imperfect fuel-air mixing. For economy and safety, most combustion equipment (such as heaters, furnaces, and engines) should operate with excess air to ensure that fuel is not wasted and that combustion is complete


Can air be used as fuel for a car?

Air is used in combination with gasoline at a ratio of 14.7 (air) to 1 (fuel) for an ideal combustion mix.


Is air a fuel?

Air is not a fuel. Most fuels such as gasoline or methane require air in order to burn, so air, or more precisely the oxygen in air, supports combustion, but it is not a fuel, it is an oxidising agent.


What are the problems of fuel combustions?

the smoke goes into the air during combustion.


Why is the fuel injection sucking air?

This is a normal condition. It sucks in air through the throttle body to create a fuel/air mixture used for combustion.
