Before Fuel Injection. Some automobile engines (mainly older ones) use a carburetor to turn the liquid fuel into vapor and mix it with air for combustion. The basic principle of carburetion is shown in Figure P10.82. A piston moves down in the cylinder thereby moving air from the outside through the carburetor by way of an air filter and into the carburetor. The filtered air enters from the left of Figure P10.82 and moves into the main intake, a tube of diameter 4.2 cm, with velocity v = 8 m/s. The air must pass through a region of the intake that has a smaller diameter. Determine what diameter would be needed cause a change in pressure such that fuel from the reservoir is pulled into the airflow. The surface of the fuel in the reservoir is h = 35 cm below the bottom of the intake and the density of the fuel is 0.46 that of water. Use 1000 kg/m^3 for the density of water and 1.29 kg/m^3 for the density of air. Submit Answer Tries 0/5 Patm d₂ = ? To combustion chamber Fuel (gasoline)
Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
