What else can I help you with?
What is the device that ignites the fuel mixture in an engine?
spark plug
Is a spark plug a part of the ignition system?
YES! the spark plug ignites the fuel mixture and causes combustion
What is preignition of fuel?
Pre-ignition of fuel that occurs in a spark-ignition engine is when the air/fuel mixture in the cylinder ignites before the spark plug actually fires. It can be initiated from a hot spot such as in the combustion chamber.
What is the purpose of the spark plug?
It ignites the compressed air/fuel mixture.
Is spark plug wire part of the ignition system?
YES! the spark plug ignites the fuel mixture and causes combustion.
What is the reaction called when a mixture of gasoline and air encounters a spark and explodes?
The reaction is called combustion, specifically combustion of the gasoline-air mixture. The spark ignites the mixture, leading to a rapid release of energy that causes an explosion. This is the principle behind how internal combustion engines work in vehicles.
What is a chemical reaction that occurs when a mixture of gasoline and air is ignited by a spark called?
This reaction is called combustion.
What does a spark plug do on a lawn mower?
The fuel/air mixture is compressed by the piston moving upwards, the spark plug ignites that mixture and causes an explosion which pushes the piston downward.
What is the function of the spark from the spark plug?
The purpose of the spark is to ignite the air fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. When the air fuel mixture ignites the expansion of the burning air fuel mixture causes the piston to go down thus turning the crankshaft.
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.
What is a spark plug?
A spark plug is the part of an internal combustion engine which forms a high-voltage spark which ignites the fuel-air mixture to begin the power stroke.
What device ignites gas in car engines?
The device that ignites gas in a car engine is the spark plug. The spark plug will not work without a device, called a coil, that sends a signal to the spark plug to tell it when to spark.
