Key Takeaways & Skills Developed:

• A carburetor is one of the simplest and cheapest ways to mix two streams of fluid in a controlled manner.

• It was absolutely astonishing to learn (and then prove mathematically), how the fluid flow and air intake were exactly proportional to a change in pressure drop to ensure a stoichiometric chemistry in the overall fluid.

• A crucial skill I developed was physically dissecting a machine and bringing all the equations and ideas learned in class to life by analyzing the system independently with a group of my peers. Not only did I learn to physically apply equations, but also state and justify any and all assumptions made that led me to those equations.
