Gasoline Must Burn Quickly

Gasoline placed in a container and ignited will produce a hot flame, yet it will not burn fast enough to produce the rapid release of heat necessary to run and engine. Even though a considerable quantity of fuel may be involved, a large flame will not necessarily result. As we all know, the surface area of a wick in a lighter is quite small. Vapor from the surface of the liquid, combined with oxygen, is what burns readily. If the surface of the liquid is small, relatively little vapor will be given off to provide combusion. Since the liquid must change to vapor before it is burned, it would take considerable time to use up the fuel at this rate. By placing the same amount of fuel in a shallow, wide container, more surface area will contact air and the fuel will burn rapidly. Remember, A small flame is produced, due to small area of exposed fuel. Follow this blog: Next - Fuel atomized.
