Fuel injection has almost replaced carburation in spark ignition engines as the former is not only more efficient and reliable but has become more controllable with the use of modern electronic control systems which empower multiple microbursts during induction.
From Figure 2(b), compared with the nontreated case (Figure 2(a)), the average friction coefficient is increased by the carburation or nitridation treatments of plate specimen.
Aujourd'hui a Marseille, la star portugaise ouvrira le bal des quarts face a l'avant-centre du Bayern Robert Lewandowski, qui peine encore a trouver la bonne carburation dans cet Euro (aucun but).
