d) Exhaust manifold
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Piston fits perfectly into the cylinder providing a gas-tight space with the piston rings and
the lubricant and forms the first link in transmitting the gas forces to the output shaft.
4. What is the function of a fuel pump in a petrol pump?
a) inject fuel in cylinder
b) supply fuel when carburetor fails
c) pump fuel so that it reaches carburettor
d) improve thermal efficiency
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: None.
5. If overhead clearance is less, then which of the following type of engine should be selected?
a) V-type
b) In-line type
c) Vertical
d) Horizontal
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: None.
6. Which is the false statement about the advantages of V-type engine?
a) compact design requiring lesser space
b) improved distribution of air to cylinder
c) casting less liable to distortion
d) less overhead clearance
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: In horizontal type engine, less overhead clearance is found.
7. The pistons are usually given a coating such as tin plating in order to __________
a) reduce weight
b) conduct heat efficiently
c) reduce the possibility of scoring
d) reduce friction
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Pistons are provided with tin coating to reduce scoring.
8. Piston rings are usually made of __________
a) cast iron
b) aluminium
c) carbon steel
d) phosphor bronze
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: None.
9. Piston rings are plated with chromium, cadmium or phosphate in order to __________
a) reduce cost
b) improve surface finish
c) prevent clogging
d) reduce wear and eliminate scuffing
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: Piston rings are plated to reduce wear and eliminate scuffing.
10. The top piston ring nearer to the piston crown is known as __________
a) compression ring
b) oil ring
c) scrapper ring
d) groove ring
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: None.
