  3. Which of the following statement is correct regarding petrol engines?

  4. A.
    A fine fuel spray mixed with air is ignited by the heat of compression which is at a high pressure.
    B.
    The fuel supplied to the engine cylinder is mixed with necessary amount of air and the mixture in ignited with the help of a spark plug.
    C.
    The fuel is first evaporated after passing through a carburettor and is mixed with air before ignition.
    D.
    all of the above

  5. Supercharging __________ the power developed by the engine.

  6. A.
    has no effect on
    B.
    increases
    C.
    decreases

  7. Uranium has isotopes

  8. A.
    U234
    B.
    U235
    C.
    U238
    D.

  9. The colour of exhaust from diesel engine is generally

  10. A.
    white
    B.
    bluish
    C.
    black
    D.
    violent

  11. In compression ignition engines, swirl denotes a

  12. A.
    haphazard motion of the gases in the chamber
    B.
    rotary motion of the gases in the chamber
    C.
    radial motion of the gases in the chamber
    D.
    none of the above

  13. A mixture containing 65% of iso-octane and 35% of normal heptane will have

  14. A.
    cetane number 65
    B.
    octane number 65
    C.
    qetane number 35
    D.
    octane number 35

  15. Which of the following statement is wrong ?

  16. A.
    In compression ignition engines, detonation occurs near the beginning of combustion.
    B.
    Since the fuel, in compression ignition engines, is injected at the end of compression stroke, therefore, there will be no pre-ignition.
    C.
    To eliminate knock in compression ignition engines, we want to achieve auto-ignition not early and desire a long delay period.
    D.
    In compression ignition engines, because of hetrogeneous mixture, the rate of pressure rise is comparatively lower.

    fuel pump
    B.
    injector
    C.
