Chapter 4Engine Construction & Principles of Operationpage 63
Gasoline EnginesA gasoline fueled engine is a mechanism designed to transform the chemical energy of burning fuel into mechanical energy. Single cylinderMulti-cylinderV-inline-RotaryAll have similar Fuel systems, Cooling and lubrication systems.

GasolineHydroCarbon (HC)Refined from PetroleumMust: Ignite readilyBurn CleanlyResist detonationVaporize easilyw/o impeding flow- Be free of dirt
GasolineAssign Octane # 87-89-93Higher # for higher compressionShelf lifeLeaded/Lead FreeTetraethyl leadAdditivesEthanolMethanolether
Gas MUST Burn QuicklyNot over 10% EthanolLiquid gas burns cold & Slow
Fuel is AtomizedMust be in mist/vapor/atomizedIncrease surface areaDroplets (Spray paint, Air brush, mist)
Explosion must be containedNeed to contain to perform workTubeSliding plugCapInlet\OutletDirect the flame/explosion
Further ImprovementsLimit area of ExplosionTube = CylinderSliding Plug = PistonCap = HeadInlet/Outlet = Valves
