What Increases Air Entering Engine Chamber?

Q1: How is the air pressure increased in an engine?

A1: The air pressure is increased using a compressor with blades that spin at high speed, squeezing and compressing the air.

Q2: What happens after the air is compressed?

A2: The compressed air is then sprayed with fuel and ignited by an electric spark, resulting in burning gases that expand and blast out.

Q3: How does the burning air/fuel mixture convert into energy?

A3: The pressure from the burning mixture applies direct force to a specific part of the engine, converting gas pressure into mechanical energy, usually in the form of a rotating output shaft.

Q4: How does the mass of airflow affect thrust?

A4: Increasing the mass of airflow increases the thrust.

Q5: What increases the amount of air in the combustion chamber?

A5: A turbocharger increases the amount of air entering into the combustion chamber, allowing for more fuel to be burned, which in turn creates more power.
