How does an engine starter works?
Inside the engine you have pistons attached to rods that are attached with bearings to the crankshaft. The crankshaft has offset points where the rods attach. The pistons are housed in cylinders and on top of the cylinder you have what is called a head. Inside the head are valves that let a fuel and air mixture into the cylinder. The valves are operated by the camshaft which is somehow geared to the crankshaft. As the piston moves up in the cylinder during the compression stroke, the fuel/air is compressed and a spark then ignites the mixture driving the piston down which turns the crankshaft causing one of the other pistons to go up compressing the gas in that cylinder. When this explosion occurs, the piston gets slammed down. That is the power stroke. That causes the crankshaft to turn, sending power to the transmission which in turn allows the car to move. Then the piston returns because of the momentum of the flywheel and the force of the other pistons if there are any. At the same time, a valve opens allowing the burned fuel air mixture to leave the cylinder and flow through the muffler and out the tailpipe. That is the exhaust stroke. Then the exhaust valve closes as the intake valve opens, allowing new fuel mixture to get sucked in during the intake stroke. Then the compression stroke outlined above repeats the entire cycle. That is pretty basic but it should give you an idea of how it all works. Below are some of the common variations of this. A diesel engine works similarly, but the detonation is caused by compression rather than ignition. Instead of spark plugs, it is the pressure inside the cylinder which causes the fuel mixture to explode. Fuel injection is required to get the amount of pressure necessary for detonation to occur. Glow plugs are only needed to warm the engine for starting, and a larger starter, battery, and alternator may be required. The cylinder walls might also be thicker. Otherwise the process works pretty much the same as for a 4-stroke gasoline engine. Then there is the rare Wankel engine that Mazda once used. It contains one or more rotors that have 3 surfaces. There is a rod called an eccentric that functions similarly to the valves of a 4-stroke reciprocating engine. However, a rotary engine is technically a 2-stroke engine since every rotor surface fires once per revolution of the crankshaft, while in a 4-stroke reciprocating engine, the cylinder only fires every other rotation. Anyway, the spark plugs fire and the explosion causes the rotor to rotate, sending the power to the transmission and wheels. Then as the rotor turns the eccentric opens the exhaust port to let the exhaust out and opens the intake port to allow new fuel mixture inside, readying the rotor to fire again once that same surface reaches the same location. The other surfaces fire while the first surface is readied to fire again. In 2-stroke engines such as in some motorcycles and yard equipment, the pistons also double as valves and both sides of the pistons are involved. So that means that the fuel requires a lubricant to be added since the fuel passes through the crankcase. While the piston is in the power stroke, new fuel air mixture is sucked into the crankcase for the next power stroke. Then ignition occurs, the piston is forced down as part of the power stroke and then the exhaust and intake ports are cleared. As the downward stroke forces new fuel-air-lubricant mixture into the cylinder, the exhaust is cleared, and the piston is again in the compression stroke.
What mixture did Goodyear discover that made rubber usable?
It's a process called "vulcanization."
Why was one of the gates in Jerusalem called the dung gate?
It is probably named after the residue that was taken from the Jewish Temple into the Valley of Hinnom, where it was burned.
What are the ends of a burnt rope called?
The ends of a burnt rope are typically referred to as the "frayed ends" or "burned ends." When a rope is burned, the fibers at the ends may become singed or separated, resulting in a rough, unkempt appearance. These ends can weaken the rope’s overall integrity and functionality. In some contexts, they may also be called "tails."
How does a pneumatic cylinder act with water in the air?
Air cylinder or air rams consists of a tube with a sealed base, a piston attached to a rod and a gland to seal the tube and rod where the rod exits the barrel. This assembly is called the cylinder or ram. The ram is ported in the top and bottom to allow pressurized air to enter and exit the cylinder. This moves the piston which is attached to the rod and created the movement. Cylinders are usually stationary at one end and the rod is attached to a moving part. This is called a double-acting cylinder because pressurized air can be let into both sides of the cylinder to create movement. A single-acting cylinder relies on gravity to extend or retract it as it is only ported on either the top or bottom side of the cylinder.
In a gasoline engines the area in the cylinder head where the air and fuel mixture is burned is called?
Combustion chamber
In a gasoline engine the area the cylinder head where the air -and - fuel mixture is burned is called the?
Combustion chamber
The area in the cylinder head where the air-and-fuel mixture is burned is called the?
Combustion chamber.
In a gasoline engine the area in the cylinder head whee the air and fuel mixture is burned is called?
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".
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 is the mixture of gasoline and alchol called?
gasohol
What is a mixture of ethanol and gasoline called?
A mixture of ethanol and gasoline is called gasohol or E10. Gasohol typically contains 10% ethanol and 90% gasoline. It is used as a fuel for vehicles that can run on ethanol blends.
Is gasoline a pure or substance or a mixture?
Gasoline (also called petrol) is a mixture of many different complex hydrocarbon molecules that have a roughly similar boiling point. Commercial gasoline also has other substances added to it to improve its performance in internal combustion engines, or to reduce the pollution resulting from its use in those engines.,
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 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.
Does gasoline produce smaller hydrocarbons?
Gasoline is composed of a mixture of hydrocarbons having 6 to 9 carbon atoms, some linear some cyclic. The laboratory standard "gasoline" used for quality comparison is 100% pure linear octane (i.e. 8 carbon atoms). When burned in an engine with a shortage of oxygen, it does produce smaller hydrocarbons called "unburned hydrocarbons" that contribute to smog.
The chemical reaction that occurs when a mixture of gasoline and air is gained by a spark is called?
The chemical reaction is called combustion, where the gasoline and air mixture reacts with the spark to release energy in the form of heat and light, producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
