Carburetion versus Fuel Injection


Dear auto-enthusiasts, Hello again !

In my last article, I had discussed about the components of the Engine (ICE) and how they work in a synchronized way to convert heat energy into mechanical force (Generating Power). During exploring the Otto Cycle, I had told you that its second step is the “Induction Stroke” in which the Charge( Fuel+Air) is sent into the Combustion Chamber of the engine. I assume, most of you already know that the Charge is prepared either by a Carburetor or a Fuel Injection System. Today, I am going to explain that how both of them work, where they are best and where they are not so good. Let’s have a look.

OVERVIEW
To generate power efficiently, the fuel should be mixed with air (oxygen) in such a way that almost all (most of) the fuel present in the Combustion Chamber is burnt and produce maximum possible power without wasting any fuel. This can be achieved by some sort of Carburetion technique, such as a Carburetor or a Fuel Injection System. Whatever the Carburetion technique be, there should be a source of fresh/dust-free air for it. This is achieved by using an air filter. This air is then sent into the Carburetion Module to mix with fuel. The charge so produced is then delivered into the Combustion Chamber through the Intake Valve. Now let us discuss the different Carburetion techniques.

Insight : A Look Into the Metal Hearts That Propel Our Beasts

A big Hello to all Motorbike and Car enthusiasts !!

I am Ishan Dev , the new Technical In-charge for the budding blog, Engine Freak.
An article on how thermal energy is converted into motion of automobiles
I am here to share some information about Automobiles (Cars and Motorbikes) to endow our readers with some in-depth knowledge of the same, so that you guys can atleast stop the mechanics and the Service Centre crooks from making a fool of you, and if you want, a lot more. This is my first article here, so I would like to start with the basics of an engine, or should I say the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), for what it is called in the Automobile industry.

Hero Motocorp Prowling Around with Bigger Game??

When it comes to gaming around among Indian premium bikes, Hero Motocorp's flagship model Karizma has a considerable presence. After Karizma R made youngsters crazy with its fighter-aircraft inspired design and sedate pick-up, entered its sibling the Karizma ZMR. It boasted of PGM-FI technology, a sporty-yet-disproportionate full front cowl and more wholesome looks.

Spied : 2014 Ducati Monster glimpsed testing in Italy ?? Liam Neeson doing the honours ???

Quite a few days back, the alleged spyshots of a bike covered in what-appeared-to-be-chrome-coloured-confetti went on air on a few sites, the reputed MCN as well as an Italian automotive portal Moto.it being included in the list. The spied motorcycle is supposed to be the 2014 edition of the Ducati Monster, or so everyone has opined.

The pictures seemed to be of fairly good quality for them to be called Spyshots. Spotted in a quite-well-forested area
