Question 211Motor Plants - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passWhich of the following oil mist to air ratios would most likely lead to the most severe crankcase explosion?
A2-3% by volume.
B5-7% by volume.
C9-10% by volume.
D12-15% by volume.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 5-7% by volume. This is the correct answer because the most severe crankcase explosions typically occur when the oil mist to air ratio is within the flammable range, which is around 5-7% by volume. At this ratio, the mixture of oil mist and air is most easily ignited, leading to the most violent and destructive crankcase explosions. The other options are less likely to result in the most severe crankcase explosions. Ratios below 5% or above 7% are either too lean or too rich to be as easily ignited and explosive.
