Before Fuel Injection. Some automobile engines (mainly older ones) use a carburetor to turn the liquid fuel into vapor and mix it with air for combustion. The
basic principle of carburetion is shown in Figure P10.82. A piston moves down in the cylinder thereby moving air from the outside through the carburetor by way
of an air filter and into the carburetor. The filtered air enters from the left of Figure P10.82 and moves into the main intake, a tube of diameter 4.2 cm, with
velocity v = 8 m/s. The air must pass through a region of the intake that has a smaller diameter. Determine what diameter would be needed cause a change in
pressure such that fuel from the reservoir is pulled into the airflow. The surface of the fuel in the reservoir is h = 35 cm below the bottom of the intake and the
density of the fuel is 0.46 that of water. Use 1000 kg/m^3 for the density of water and 1.29 kg/m^3 for the density of air.
