    Question 1. What Is IC Engine?

    Answer :
    The internal combustion engine converts chemical energy into useful mechanical energy by
    burning fuel.
    Chemical energy is released when the fuel-air mixture is ignited by the spark in the combustion
    chamber. The gas produced in this reaction rapidly expands forcing the piston down the cylinder
    on the power stroke.

    Question 2. What Is 2-stroke Engine?


    Answer :
    A Two-stroke engine is an internal combustion engine in which the piston’s two strokes are
    required to complete single thermodynamic cycle.2-STROKE engine is designed by DUGLAD
    CLERK in 1880, the expansion and exhaust takes place during 2-Stroke of piston.

    Question 3. What Is 4-stroke Engine?


    Answer :
    A four-stroke engine is an internal combustion engine in which the piston’s four separate strokes
    are required to complete single thermodynamic cycle.
    A 4-stroke engine is an internal combustion engine in which the piston completes four separate
    strokes— intake, compression, power, and exhaust— during two separate revolutions of the
    engine’s crankshaft, and one single thermodynamic cycle.

    Question 4. Definition Of Octane Number And Cetane Number?



    Answer :

    Octane No. - Octane number is defined as the percentage, by volume, of iso-octane in the

    .Question 11. Why Have Eight Cylinders In An Engine? Why Not Have One Big Cylinder
    Of The Same Displacement Of The Eight Cylinders Instead?

    Answer :

    There are a couple of reasons why a big 4.0-Liter engine has eight half-Liter cylinders
    rather than one big 4-Liter cylinder. The main reason is smoothness. A V-8 engine is
    much smoother because it has eight evenly spaced explosions instead of one big
    explosion. Another reason is starting torque. When you start a V-8 engine, you are only
    driving two cylinders (1 Liter) through their compression strokes, but with one big
    cylinder you would have to compress 4 titers instead.

    


    Question 12. What Causes White Smoke In Two Stroke Locomotive Engines?

    Answer :

    That is because of engine running too Lean mixture (lack of fuel). This condition wilt
    lead to overheating and failure of the engine.

    


    Question 13. Why Efficiency Of Gas Turbines Is Lower Compared To Lc. Engines?

    Answer :

    In gas turbines, 70% of the output of gas turbine is consumed by compressor. I.C. engines
    have much Lower auxiliary consumption. Further combustion temperature of l.C. engines
    is much higher compared to gas turbine.

    


    Question 14. What Do You Understand By Timed Cylinder Lubrication?



    Answer :

    For effective lubrication, lubrication oil, needs to be injected between two piston rings
    when piston is at bottom of stroke so that piston rides in oil during upward movement.
    This way tot of lubrication oil can be saved and used properly.

    


    Question 15. In Some Engines Glycerin Is Used In Place Of Water For Cooling Of
    Engine. Why?

    Answer :

    Glycerin has boiling point of 90°C which increases its heat carrying capacity. Thus
    weight of coolant gets reduced and smaller radiator can be used.

    

    Question 16. Why We Do Not Use Same Technology To Start Both Si/cl Engine ?

    Answer :The S.I. or spark ignition engine uses petrol. as a fuel and the Ci. or
    compression ignition engine uses diesel as a fuel. Both the fuels has different
    compression ratio.
    ◦ In SI engine the compression ratio is 8-12:1.
    ◦ In CI engine the compression ratio is 16-22:1.
    . So in case of SI engine, the compression ratio is not sufficient for fuel to burn so a spark
    plug is used, whereas in ci engine, the compression ratio is so high that due to its internal
    heat the fuel is combusted so there is no need for a spark plug. So the technology used in
    SI engine is different from CI engine.

    


    Question 17. Which Has More Efficiency: Diesel Engine Or Petrol Engines?

    Answer :

    Diesel. engine has the better efficiency out of two.

    


    Question 18. What Is The Position Of Piston Ring?



    Answer :

    In 180 degree angle the Top ring, Second ring and Oil ring are fixed. Position the ring
    approximately 1 inch gap below the neck.

    


    Question 19. What Are The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Using LPG In Car?

    Answer :

    Advantages
    1. Complete combustion
    2. FueL saving
    3. Homogenous combustion.
    . Disadvantages
    1. As complete combustion is occurring, more heat Liberated, not advised for Long
    journey, engine will be over heated
    2. Installation is difficult
    3. Reduce engine Life efficiency.
    . 


    Question 20. What Is Scavenging?



    Answer :

    Scavenging is process of flushing out burnt gases from engine cylinder by introducing
    fresh air in the cylinder before exhaust stroke ends.

    


    Question 21. What Is Meant By Supercharging?



    Answer :

    Supercharging is a method of increasing an engine’s power output, by forcing air into the
    engine under greater than atmospheric pressures. Supercharging usually refers to belt
    driven compressor (I.E. roots/screw or centrifugal), some early uses superchargers were
    driven directly off the crank shaft.

    


    Question 22. Why Diesel Engine Don’t Have Spark Plug?



    Answer :

    The compression ratio is high enough to combust the diesel without the aid of sparkplugs
    Answer Most diesel engines will have a glow plug, this gives of enough heat to help get
    the engine started, the heat generated from the first few revolutions together with the
    compression from the piston is enough to ensure the engine keeps running. Some modern
    diesel engines no Longer require a glow plug.
