What else can I help you with?
During an engines intake stage what passages inside the cylinder head must the incoming air-and-fuel mixture flow through in order to enter the cylinder?
Intake valve must be open
During an engine's intake stage what passages inside the cylinder head must the incoming air and fuel mixture flow through in order to enter the cylinder?
Intake valves.
During an engine's intake stage what passages inside the cylinder head must the incoming air-and-fuel mixture flow through in order to enter the cylinder?
Intake valve/valves.
During an engine intake stage what passages inside the cylinder head must the incoming air and fuel mixture flow through in order to enter the cylinder?
The intake runner and the intake valve (naming only the head assembly).
During an engines intake stage what passages inside the cylinder head must the incoming air and fuel mixture flow though in order to enter the cylinder?
Intake valve must be open to allow atomized fuel mixture to enter cylinder--than all valves are closed during compression stroke 4- stroke engine 1) intake valve open to allow fuel mixture to enter cylinder 2) compression stroke all valves closed 3) ignition stroke mixture is ignited by spark from spark plugs 4) exhaust stroke--exhaust valve is open to allow residue to escape
In a gasoline engines the area in the cylinder head where the air and fuel mixture is burned is called?
Combustion chamber
Why are multi cylinder engines preferred to single cylinder engines?
this is rhetorical when you think about it. when you have more cylinders, you have more power, but less fuel efficiency, and vice versa. In this answer its not all completely correct in some cases a multi-cylinder engine can have a better fuel economy compared to a single cylinder engine, it depends on the capacity of the of the cylinder, the size of the valves and how much they allow the fuel and air mixture (in S.I engines A.K.A petrol engines) or air for diesel engines. One reason that i know of for a multi-cylinder engine to be preferred to a single cylinder engine is because it gives less stress to the engine when running it also causes the engine to be more stable. In addition a multi-cylinder engine has less time between power strokes so the engine is more efficient.
Why are small gasoline engines called spark ignition engines?
Because they use spark plugs and associated parts to create a spark which ignites the fuel-air mixture in the cylinder whose combustion and expansion of gasses is what makes the engine run.
How much temperature in cylinder in power stroke?
About 1700 degrees Fahrenheit, but this can be higher or lower depending upon the fuel-air mixture and the efficiency of the combustion. This is often measured at the exhaust of the cylinder head for fine tuning high performance engines.
Why can't a car function without gasoline?
Cars burn gasoline. Gasoline is pumped into the engine's intake, where it is mixed with air, called an air/fuel mixture. After it is mixed, a valve in the engines cylinder head opens and draws the air/fuel mixture into a cylinder. The valve closes and traps the mixture in the cylinder. In the cylinder is piston which moves up and compresses the air/fuel mixture. In the top of the cylinder, in the cylinder head is a spark plug, which ignites the compressed air/fuel mixture. The mixture explodes and forces the piston back down the cylinder. The piston is connected to a shaft, called the crank, which is connected to the car's transmission, which is connected to the car's drive wheels. When the piston is forced down by the exploding air/fuel mixture it forces the crank to turn, which turns the transmission, which turns the wheels. Without the gasoline, there would be nothing make the explosion which drives the car. Look at the linked page for a more in depth explanation of how an engine works.
What are the uses for an internal combustion engine?
All fossil fuel, and biodeisel engines are internal combustion engines. Internal combustion engines are engines that requier a propellant (Gas, diesel etc..). The fuel gets injected into the engine and mixes with air, the mixture gets injected into a cylinder, a piston compresses the mixture and then a small spark from a spark plug ignites the mixture. this lets the engine drive a shaft that can be connected to a number of things, tires, lawnmower blades, what ever.Airplanes, lawnmowers, chain saws, weed eaters, four wheelers, dirtbikes, cars, trucks etc.. all these are ICE's
Whats the difference between engines running on diesel and gasoline?
Gas engines use spark plugs to ignite the air fuel mixture and diesel engines use high cylinder compression to ignite the fuel air mixture. Other than that they are similar. <><><> Diesel engines ignite the fuel by using high compression: as the engine compresses the air inside the combustion chamber, it reaches around 1000 degrees, at which point diesel fuel is injected into the combustion chamber, and it ignites. Gasoline engines use the sparks from spark plugs to ignite the gasoline/air mixture in the engines' combustion chambers after it has been compressed. Because separate sparks are used the amount of compression required in a gasoline engine is a lot less than would be necessary in a diesel engine. The main reason diesel engines are heavier and more expensive to make than gasoline engines is because, to be able to withstand the much higher compression, diesel engines have to be made much stronger by having thicker cylinder walls, compression chambers, pistons, connecting rods, crankshafts, etc.
