A carburettor makes use of a restriction (throat diameter Ø35mm) to produce low pressure around the holes in the fuel nozzle to draw fuel into the air stream passing through the throat. The butterfly valve controls the air–fuel mixture intake into the engine. If the engine is taking 14L/s of air/fuel mixture (ρmix = 1.3kg/m3) into the manifold,
a. calculate the pressure (Pa) at the fuel nozzle.
b. If the fuel’s density is 820kg/m3 what is the maximum height (H) that the fuel can be lifted into the airstream.
