Which of the following is the best description of the power stroke?
The ignition of the air fuel mixture increases pressure in the cylinder, which applies force to the face of the piston,
driving it down.
As the piston travels upward, it pushes the products of combustion out of the open exhaust valve.
The crankshaft drives the piston down as the flywheel absorbs the energy created by the ignition of air fuel
mixture.
An air-fuel mixture is drawn into the combustion chamber as the piston moves toward the bottom of the cylinder.
Which one of the following
energy resources can be
replenished in a short period
of time?
Biomass
Compressed natural
gas
Coal
Petroleum
Which measure does not necessarily increase the boiler efficiency?
Please choice one below :
Increasing combustion efficiency
Decreasing temperature of the exhaust gases
Minimizing heat losses
Increasing air-fuel ratio
None of these

- QUESTION 10 A four-cylinder, 3.6-liter, four-stroke cycles Sl engine operates at 2700 RPM with a volumetric efficiency of 87 %. The fuel used is methyl alcohol. The chemical reaction of methyl alcohol in a Stoichiometric condition is: CH3OH + 1.5(02 + 3.76N2) - CO2 + 2H20 + 1.5(3.76N2) The chemical reaction of methyl alcohol in an equivalence ratio of o = 1.23 is: CH3OH + m(02 + 3.76N2) → NCO2 + pCO + 2H20 + m(3.76N2) During combustion, all hydrogen is converted to water, and all carbon is converted to CO2 and CO. The density of standard air is 2.25 kg/m. The atomic masses are as follows: H=1, C=12, 0-16, and N=14.
