Carburetor:-
A carburetor or carburettor is a device
that blends air and fuel for an internal combustion engine. It is
sometimes, but not always, shortened to "Carb" in North America and the
United Kingdom. The carburetor works on Bernoulli's
principle: the faster air moves, the lower its static pressure, and the
higher its dynamic pressure. The throttle (accelerator) linkage does
not directly control the flow of liquid fuel. Instead, it actuates
carburetor mechanisms which meter the flow of air being pulled into the
engine. The speed of this flow, and therefore its pressure, determines
the amount of fuel drawn into the airstream. When carburetors are used
in aircraft with piston engines, special designs and features are needed
to prevent fuel starvation during inverted flight. Later engines used
an early form of fuel injection known as a "pressure carburetor".
