What is the primary function of the intake stroke in a naturally aspirated engine?
To ignite the air-fuel mixture
To expel exhaust gases
To draw air into the cylinder
To compress the air-fuel mixture
Which component ignites the air-fuel mixture during the power stroke?
Piston
Crankshaft
Spark plug
Exhaust valve
How does a turbocharger increase engine efficiency?
By using a belt connected to the crankshaft
By utilizing exhaust gases to power a compressor
By directly injecting fuel into the combustion chamber
By reducing the engine's weight
What is a key advantage of superchargers over turbochargers?
They are more fuel-efficient
They provide immediate power boost
They are lighter in weight
They use less air pressure
What is the typical compression ratio range for naturally aspirated petrol engines?
8:1 to 12:1
10:1 to 14:1
16:1 to 18:1
6:1 to 8:1
Why is the compression ratio of a forced induction engine typically lower than that of a naturally aspirated engine?
To increase fuel efficiency
To manage increased pressure and temperature
To reduce engine size
To improve exhaust emissions
How do forced induction engines prevent engine knock?
By using higher compression ratios
By compressing air before it enters the combustion chamber
By reducing fuel intake
By increasing engine size
What is one benefit of lowering the compression ratio in forced induction engines?
It increases the risk of overheating
It allows the engine to handle additional boost pressure safely
It reduces engine power
It decreases engine reliability
How do lower compression ratios help in thermal management of forced induction engines?
By increasing the thermal load
By reducing the risk of overheating
By increasing fuel consumption
By decreasing engine efficiency
What role does the exhaust valve play in an internal combustion engine?
It releases exhaust gases from the cylinder
It ignites the air-fuel mixture
It draws air into the cylinder
It compresses the air-fuel mixture
Why is a turbocharger more efficient at high altitudes compared to a naturally aspirated engine?
It uses less fuel
It compensates for lower air pressure
It increases engine size
It reduces engine weight
What is the main advantage of using a twin-scroll turbocharger?
It reduces engine noise
It improves throttle response
It increases engine weight
It decreases fuel consumption
