Question Set 26

Question No. 1 Explain Otto cycle. Answer: Otto cycle can be explained by a pressure volume relationship diagram. It shows the functioning cycle of a four stroke engine. The cycle starts with an intake stroke, closing the intake and moving to the compression stroke, starting of combustion, power stroke, heat exchange stroke where heat is…

Question No. 1 How engine design needs to be changed to burn lean mixture? Answer: Engine to burn lean mixture uses high compression ratio and the highly turbulent movement of the charge is produced by the geometry of the combustion chamber. Question No. 2 Horse power of I.C. engines can be expressed as RAC rating,…

Question Set 18

Question No. 1 How is a fly-ball governor used with a hydraulic control? Answer: As the turbine speeds up, the weights are moved outward by centrifugal force, causing linkage to open a pilot valve that admits and releases oil on either side of a piston or on one side of a spring-loaded piston. The movement…

Question Set 17

Question No. 1 Why an increase in area is required to produce an increase of velocity in case of supersonic flow? Answer: Increase in area for increase in velocity for supersonic flow is required because the density decreases faster than velocity increases at supersonic speeds and to maintain continuity of mass, area must increase. Question…
