What are the advantages of diesel engines in cars?
 Diesel cars offer better mileage.
 Diesel is an efficient and energy dense fuel.
 Diesel vehicles don't need ignition tune-ups.
1.  Diesel engines are designed to withstand the challenge of Re CO1 2
higher compression.
 Diesel costs just as much as gasoline.
 Diesel doesn't offer high-speed performance

How automobiles are classified based on capacity? Give examples

 Light duty vehicle: Small motor vehicles. eg: Car, jeep,
Scooter, motorcycle
2. Ev CO1 2
 Heavy duty vehicle: large and bulky motor vehicles.
e.g: Bus, Truck, Tractor

Enlist the .limitations of turbo charging.

 Higher thermal stress in different moving parts.
 Leakage of air past the piston.
3.  Knocking Re CO2 2
 Increases the size of engine because of the use of
intercooler.

Write the main requirements of an injector nozzle.

diesel injector nozzles are spring-loaded closed valves that spray fuel
directly into the combustion chamber or precombustion chamber when
4. Re CO2 2
the injector is opened. Injector nozzles are threaded or clamped into
the cylinder head, one for each cylinder, and are replaceable as an
assembly.
5. What is known as one way clutch? Re CO3 2
 One-way clutch resembles a roller bearing, but instead of
cylindrical rollers, non-revolving asymmetric figure-eight
shaped are used. When the unit rotates in one direction the
 rollers slip or free-wheel, but when a torque is applied in the
opposite direction, the rollers tilt slightly, producing a wedging
action and binding because of friction. The spring-loaded so
that they lock with very little backlash
Mention few important causes of axle failures.
 The general appearance of the failed axle shaft The failed
6. wheel shaft had bended almost at the end of the step and near Ap CO3 2
the groove, which was unusable. This bend is clearly visible in
a naked eye
What is the disadvantage of having rigid axle suspension?
(a) Hard springing takes place due to small maximum spring
deflection. The vertical axle movement is limited by clearance
7. Re CO4 2
between the axle and the engine.
(b) Due to high unsprung weight maximum wheel adhesion is
not obtained
With regard to steering, what is Toe-in and Toe-out?

8. Re CO4 2

Define energy intensity.

 Energy intensity is a measure of the energyefficiency of a
nation's economy. It is calculated as units of energy per unit of
9. Re CO5 2
GDP. High energy intensities indicate a high price or cost of
convertingenergy into GDP. Low energy intensity indicates a
lower price or cost of converting energy into GDP.
Why is hydrogen called as secondary energy source?
 We get electricity and hydrogen from the conversion of
other sources of energy, such as coal, nuclear, or solar energy.
10. Re CO5 2
These are called primary sources. For manyenergy needs, it is
much easier to use electricity or hydrogen than the
primaryenergy sources themselves.
