2Liquid fuels — are those combustible or energy generating molecules that can be harnessed to create mechanical energy, usually producing kinetic energy; they also must take the shape of their container. Most liquid fuels, in widespread use, are or derived from… …
3Fuel pump — should not be confused with fuel dispenser, a device that dispenses fuel into an automobile. A high pressure fuel pump on a Yanmar 2GM20 marine diesel engine. A fuel pump is a frequently (but not always) essential component on a car or other… …
4fuel injection — fuel injection, adj. the spraying of liquid fuel into the cylinders or combustion chambers of an engine. [1895 1900] * * * In an internal combustion engine, introduction of fuel into the cylinders by a pump rather than by the suction created by… …
5Fuel saving device — Fuel saving devices are sold on the aftermarket with claims to improve the fuel economy and/or the exhaust emissions of a vehicle. There are numerous different types of device; many purport to optimize ignition, air flow, or fuel flow in some way …
6Engine cooling — is cooling an engine, typically using either air or liquid.OverviewHeat engines generate mechanical power by extracting energy from heat flows, much as a water wheel extracts mechanical power from a flow of mass falling through a distance.… …
7fuel injection — fuel in.jection n [U] a method of putting liquid fuel directly into an engine, which allows a car to ↑accelerate more quickly …
8Liquid rocket — A liquid rocket is a rocket with an engine that uses propellants in liquid form. Liquids are desirable because their reasonably high density allows the volume and hence the mass of the tanks to be relatively low, resulting in a high mass ratio.… …
