combustion chambercorrect answeran enclosed chamber in which fuel and air are burned for the production of energy
cyclecorrect answera recurring series of events: the airplane engine has four cycles; intake, compression,
power, and exhaust
lean mixturecorrect answera mixture of gasoline in which there is more air than fuel
magnetocorrect answeran electrical generator tat produces power when rotated
meter/meteringcorrect answerin terms of fuel this process of allowing amount of fuel to to pass to the combustion chamber
powerplantcorrect answerthe airplane's engine
reciprocatingcorrect answera type of engine that processes air and fuel by back and forth motion of its internal parts
rich mixturecorrect answera mixture in which there is more gasoline than air
stoichiometric fuel ratiocorrect answer15 parts air to 1 part fuel

Ionospherecorrect answera region in the upper atmosphere where electrons are gained or lost making ions
lapse ratecorrect answer3.5 F or 2 C for every 1000 feet traveled upward in the atmosphere
ozonospherecorrect answerthe region in the atmosphere where ozone is created
tropospherecorrect answerthe lowest region in the atmosphere ends about 4 miles up
tropopausecorrect answerthe region that provides a boundary between the troposphere and stratosphere
stratospherecorrect answerthe middle region of the atmosphere starts at about 4 miles and ends at 30
mesospherecorrect answerThe next region in the atmosphere starts at 30 miles and ends at 50 miles
