Car fuel air mixing - Turbulence

Turbulence

Turbulence refers to the swirling motion of a liquid or gas. It helps to maximize the mixing of air and fuel which helps make sure the combustion process occurs efficiently. Without turbulence, the air filling mixture can form local areas of high pressure and temperature that can cause detonation during combustion. A high level of turbulence can prevent this.

Temperature/Energy

Temperature of a gas is a measure of how much energy it has and the more energy it has, the more work it can do. This is because heating gas particles make them move faster and they exert larger and larger pressure on the surfaces of their container. Higher pressure means the particles exert increase force until eventually they are able to do work. This is especially true for the very high temperatures generated in combustion. The more energy the air fuel mixture has the more force it exerts on the piston and the more work the piston can do. That is what happens during the power stroke.
