Petrol engine combustion

Petrol engine combustion. Computer artwork of an internal combustion engine cylinder. The piston (lower right) is moved up and down by the combustion (burning) of fuel. This image shows the fuel/air mixture being ignited by the spark plug (upper left). The intake valve (left) allows fuel and air to enter the chamber. The exhaust valve (upper right) opens to allow waste gases out. In a vehicle, the movement of the piston drives the rotation of the wheels through the crankshaft. Diesel engines use compression, rather than a spark plug, to trigger combustion

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of petrol engine combustion. Created through computer artwork, it depicts an internal combustion engine cylinder in action. The focal point is the piston located at the lower right corner, which moves up and down as a result of fuel burning within the chamber. At the upper left, we witness the ignition of the fuel/air mixture by a spark plug, emitting a vibrant flame that symbolizes power and energy. The intake valve on the left side allows for a controlled entry of fuel and air into the chamber, while at the upper right, we observe an exhaust valve opening to release waste gases produced during combustion. This image not only highlights engineering marvels but also emphasizes how this mechanism drives vehicles forward through its connection to wheels via a crankshaft. It's worth noting that diesel engines differ from petrol engines as they employ compression instead of spark plugs to initiate combustion. This stunning illustration encapsulates various elements associated with transportation technology such as machinery, fire, burning fossil fuels, and energy generation. Captured by Science Photo Library's expertise in scientific imagery without any commercial intentions involved; this visual masterpiece serves as both educational material for enthusiasts and inspiration for those fascinated by mechanical wonders within our transport industry.
