What device mixes air and petrol for internal combustion engine?

The device that mixes air and petrol (or gasoline) for an internal combustion engine is called a carburetor.

Here's a breakdown:

* Carburetor: This is a mechanical device that uses the venturi effect to draw air into the engine and mix it with fuel. The fuel is atomized (turned into tiny droplets) by the airflow, creating a combustible mixture.

* Modern Engines: Most modern gasoline engines use electronic fuel injection (EFI) instead of carburetors. EFI systems electronically control the fuel flow for more precise fuel-air ratios, leading to better fuel economy and emissions.
