The carburetor is the device that is responsible for preparing the air-fuel mixture in gasoline engines. In order for the engine to run most economically and get the highest power output, it is important that the gasoline is mixed with the air in the optimum proportions.
The three fundamental pressure-sensing mechanisms used in aircraft instrument systems are the:
Bourdon tube
The diaphragm or bellows
The solid-state sensing device
Types of Pressure._ Pressure is a comparison between two forces.
Absolute pressure exists when a force is compared to a total vacuum, or absolutely no pressure.
The most common type of pressure measurement is gauge pressure. This is the difference between the pressure to be measured and the atmospheric pressure.
Standard pressure refers to an established or standard value that has been created for atmospheric pressure. This standard pressure value is 29.92 inches of mercury ("Hg), 1,013.2 hectopascal (hPa), or 14.7 psi.
A gyroscopic direction indicator is augmented by magnetic direction information from a remotely located compass. The type of compass used is called a flux valve or flux gate compass. It consists of a very magnetically permeable circular segmented core frame or spider. The earth’s magnetic field flows through this iron core and varies its distribution through segments of the core as the flux valve is rotated via the movement of the aircraft. Pickup coil windings are located on each of the core’s spider legs that are positioned 120° apart.
A device for finding direction with a needle that can move easily and that always points to magnetic north
