2. Inlet manifold - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inlet_manifold

   Inlet manifold. An inlet manifold or intake manifold (in American English) is the part of an internal combustion engine that supplies the fuel / air mixture to the cylinders. [ 1] The word manifold comes from the Old English word manigfeald (from the Anglo-Saxon manig [many] and feald [repeatedly]) and refers to the multiplying of one (pipe ...

3. Combustion chamber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustion_chamber

   The combustion chamber in gas turbines and jet engines (including ramjets and scramjets) is called the combustor . The combustor is fed with high pressure air by the compression system, adds fuel and burns the mix and feeds the hot, high pressure exhaust into the turbine components of the engine or out the exhaust nozzle.

4. Air–fuel ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air–fuel_ratio

   Air–fuel ratio (AFR) is the mass ratio of air to a solid, liquid, or gaseous fuel present in a combustion process. The combustion may take place in a controlled manner such as in an internal combustion engine or industrial furnace, or may result in an explosion (e.g., a dust explosion),The air–fuel ratio determines whether a mixture is combustible at all, how much energy is being released ...

5. Combustor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustor

   A combustor is a component or area of a gas turbine, ramjet, or scramjet engine where combustion takes place. It is also known as a burner, burner can, combustion chamber or flame holder. In a gas turbine engine, the combustor or combustion chamber is fed high-pressure air by the compression system. The combustor then heats this air at constant ...

6. Oxy-fuel welding and cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_welding_and_cutting

   Oxy-fuel welding (commonly called oxyacetylene welding, oxy welding, or gas welding in the United States) and oxy-fuel cutting are processes that use fuel gases (or liquid fuels such as gasoline or petrol, diesel, biodiesel, kerosene, etc) and oxygen to weld or cut metals. French engineers Edmond Fouché and Charles Picard became the first to ...

7. Fuel injection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_injection

   A cutaway model of a petrol direct-injected engine. Fuel injection is the introduction of fuel in an internal combustion engine, most commonly automotive engines, by the means of an injector. This article focuses on fuel injection in reciprocating piston and Wankel rotary engines.
