Fuel must be atomized before ignition in an engine to ensure efficient combustion. Atomization breaks the fuel into small droplets, increasing its surface area and allowing for better mixing with air. This enhanced mixing promotes a more complete and rapid combustion process, improving engine performance, fuel efficiency, and reducing emissions. Without proper atomization, fuel would burn inefficiently, leading to power loss and increased pollutants.
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.
to create fuel
Intake valve allows the atomized fuel mixture to enter the combustion chamber to be ignited by spark plug creating detonation
A petrol engine is ignited by a spark plug, and a diesel engine is ignited by the heat produced from the air/ fuel mixture being compressed in the cylinder
In an internal combustion engine, injectors spray atomized fuel into the combustion chamber
Fuel is mixed with air, compressed then ignited.
The main function is to spray atomized fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine.
Fuel and air can create a mixture in an internal combustion engine, where the fuel (liquid) is mixed with air (gas) before being ignited to power the engine.
Gasoline is atomized before being burned in an engine to create a fine mist of fuel droplets, which enhances combustion efficiency. This atomization allows for better mixing with air, resulting in a more uniform and complete combustion process. Improved atomization also helps to increase power output, reduce emissions, and minimize engine knocking by ensuring that the fuel ignites evenly. Overall, this process is crucial for optimizing engine performance and efficiency.
Compression.
The air and fuel mixture is ignited by the heat created during the compression stage in a compression ignition engine, also known as a diesel engine.
It is ignited by compression. The air fuel mixture is compressed by the piston going up. Some diesels have glow plugs too that heat up the air fuel mixture so it is more easily ignited.
