Question 1Motor Plants - QMED
70% to passThe process of scavenging a two-stroke cycle diesel engine serves to _______________.
Aimprove fuel flow volume
Bcool the exhaust valves
Creduce the intake air charge density
Dincrease the temperature of exhaust gases
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) cool the exhaust valves. In a two-stroke cycle diesel engine, the process of scavenging helps to cool the exhaust valves. Scavenging refers to the process of expelling the spent exhaust gases and refilling the cylinder with fresh air or air-fuel mixture. This helps to remove the hot exhaust gases and prevents the exhaust valves from overheating, which could lead to damage or premature wear. The other options are incorrect because scavenging does not primarily serve to improve fuel flow volume (A), reduce the intake air charge density (C), or increase the temperature of exhaust gases (D). These are not the primary functions of the scavenging process in a two-stroke cycle diesel engine.
