One known technique involves predicting the volume of a finished combustion chamber from a raw cylinder head casting... In this method, laser scanning is used to create a computer model of the cylinder head geometry. A computer technique called "virtual machining" is then used to emulate the real world machining process and transform the computer model of the raw casting to that of a finished combustion chamber. 1, record 1, English, - virtual%20machining

Inshot burners have become the dominant burner in North American residential gas furnaces, according to the American Gas Association. The burners have a single port, and fire into a pipelike heat exchanger. They differ markedly from older designs that had multiple burner ports with two-part heat exchangers, known as clamshells.

[In flame spectroscopy], a burner in which fuel and oxidant are thoroughly mixed inside the burner housing before they leave the burner ports and enter the primary-combustion or inner zone of the flame. This type of burner usually produces an approximately laminar flame, and is commonly combined with a separate unit for nebulizing the sample. 1, record 15, English, - premix%20burner

The second type of burner, used in most commercial instruments, is the premix chamber burner, sometimes called the laminar-flow burner.... The fuel and support gases are mixed in a chamber before they enter the burner head(through a slot) where they combust. The sample solution is again aspirated through a capillary by the "Venturi effect" using the support gas for the aspiration. Large droplets of the sample condense and drain out of the chamber. The remaining fine droplets mix with the gases and enter the flame. As much as 90% of the droplets condense out, leaving only 10% to enter the flame. 2, record 15, English, - premix%20burner

[En spectroscopie à flamme], un brûleur dans lequel le combustible et le comburant sont complètement mélangés à l'intérieur du brûleur avant de franchir son ou ses orifices de sortie et de pénétrer dans la zone de combustion primaire ou dans la zone interne de la flamme. Ce type de brûleur produit habituellement une flamme approximativement laminaire et est couramment associé à un dispositif distinct de nébulisation de l'échantillon. 1, record 15, French, - br%C3%BBleur%20%C3%A0%20m%C3%A9lange%20pr%C3%A9alable
