Question 13

Question
A "hollow core" or "air core" is formed by the swirl of the liquid.The tangential velocity of the outgoing liquid is given by two equations, relating the mass of liquid, the port area, and the chamber radius. At a radial position of r=0, the tangential velocity is equal to infinity. As this is impossible, a low pressure or vapor core is observed.

  • Carbon Monoxide (CO)
  • Hydrocarbons (HC)

Answer
  • It needs an AFR of 14.5:1.
  • It needs a specially designed engine.
  • It needs a high temperature to function.
