In compression ignition engines, swirl denotes a
haphazard motion of the gases in the chamber
rotary motion of the gases in the chamber
radial motion of the gases in the chamber
none of the above
Which of the following statement is wrong
In compression ignition engines, detonation occurs near the beginning of combustion
Since the fuel, in compression ignition engines, is injected at the end of compression stroke, therefore, there will be no pre-ignition.
To eliminate knock in compression ignition engines, we want to achieve auto-ignition not early and desire a long delay period.
In compression ignition engines, because of hetrogeneous mixture, the rate of pressure rise is comparatively lower.
A higher compression ratio causes
pre-ignition
increase in detonation
an acceleration in the rate of combustion
any one of these
The knocking tendency in spark ignition engines may be decreased by
controlling the air-fuel mixture
controlling the ignition timing
controlling the exhaust temperature
reducing the compression ratio
If petrol is used in a diesel engine, then
low power will be produced
efficiency will be low
higher knocking will occur
black smoke will be produced
In reciprocating type of internal combustion engine
Linear motion converted into rotary motion
Rotational motion converted into linear motion
Linear motion converted into rotary motion
Rotary motion converted into linear motion
Stoichiometric ratio is
chemically correct air-fuel ratio by weight
chemically correct air-fuel ratio by volume
actual air-fuel ratio for maximum efficiency
none of the above
The ignition of the charge by some hot surface within the engine before the passage of spark is called
pre-ignition
detonation
ignition delay
auto-ignition
