air filtration: scavenge vs. non-scavenge

In an internal combustion engine, scavenging is the process of replacing the exhaust gas in a cylinder with the fresh air/fuel mixture (or fresh air, in the case of direct-injection engines) for the next cycle. If scavenging is incomplete, the remaining exhaust gases can cause improper combustion for the next cycle, leading to reduced power output.
