(the mixture was often enriched at high load to reduce combustion temperatures). In modern engines,
attempts are made to run the engines with weaker mixtures (i.e. lean-burn). At present, most spark-
ignition engines operate with a throttle to limit the air flow at low loads. This is known as quantita-
tive governing of the engine power because the quantity of charge entering the engine is controlled,
and this controls the power output. Throttling the engine reduces the pressure in the inlet manifold, and
effectively the engine has to pump air from the inlet manifold to the exhaust system, giving a negative
pumping work of up to 1 bar mean effective ...
