    Aviation, Temperature vs. Density Question

    Thanks Klimatos, that was what I was looking for. I believe my confusion may have come from my misunderstanding of density and pressure.

    Aviation, Temperature vs. Density Question

    The hot air is just ambient air that is warmed up inside a shroud around the muffler and then piped into the carb to remove ice. My question is just about both the hot and cold air being a lower density than the ambient air though. I've always understood that when something is cold it's more...

    Aviation, Temperature vs. Density Question

    Hey guys, I'm an aircraft maintenance apprentice and I've been wondering about the air that is squeezed through a carburetor vs the carb heat air that is put through the carburetor to prevent icing. The air going through the venturi of the carburetor increases in velocity, lowers in density and...
