Chapter 9, Problem 1SA
To determine
The understanding of the combustion chamber of an engine.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The combustion chamber is a part of an engine in which the combustion of the mixture of air and fuel takes place. It is the space enclosed between the cylinder head and the top of the piston in which the process of burning of the fuel occurs.

- Which does makes the volumetric efficiency of the reciprocating engine decrease? * Low cylinder head temperatures Improper valve timing Full throttle operation Sharp bends in the induction system High carburetor air temperatures When the piston reaches the bottom center it reverses direction and starts moving up on the compression stroke. TRUE OR FALSE? * Your answer What happens with the volumetric efficiency when the engine's heat increases? Your answer As an aircraft climbs, air density decreases, thereby decreasing the amount of air in the fuel/air mixture. This results in a vibrant air/fuel mixture which causes a reduction in engine power.
