Which of the following statements about engines is not true?

  1. The engine provides the rotating power to drive the wheels through the transmission and driving axle.

  • Only gasoline engines are classified as internal combustion.
  • The combustion chamber is the space between the top of the piston and the cylinder head.
  • For the combustion in the cylinder to take place completely and efficiently, air and fuel must be combined in the right proportions.
  • Blurred answer

    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.
    The following are the required characteristics of the IC engine fuels, EXCEPT   Select one: a. Starting of the engine should be quick and reliable at any ambient condition. b. The surface of the combustion chamber should remain free from carbon and other deposits. c. The combustion process must be slow. d. The fuel should get effectively atomized, vaporized and well mixed with the air.
    Swirl vanes in the combustion chamber: increase the velocity of the airflow reduce the axial velocity of the airflow O prevent compressor stall
