In which of the following types of heat engines carburetor is used ?
Explanation
A carburetor is a device used in internal combustion engines to mix air with a fine spray of liquid fuel (petrol) in the correct ratio for combustion. It is specifically used in petrol engines (also known as spark-ignition engines).
- Petrol Engine: Uses a carburetor to prepare the air-fuel mixture before it enters the cylinder, where it is ignited by a spark plug.
- Diesel Engine: Does not use a carburetor. It draws only air into the cylinder, compresses it to a high temperature, and then injects fuel directly into the combustion chamber using a fuel injector.
- Steam Engine: Is an external combustion engine where fuel is burned outside the engine to produce steam; hence, it does not require a carburetor.
