    The resistance to knock in SI engines 

    • Increases with branch chain arrangement of SI fuel

    • Increase with decrease in number of carbon atoms in SI fuel

    • Increase with adding methyl group of SI fuel

    • All of above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of above
    Explanation
    The resistance to knock in SI engines increases with the branch chain arrangement of SI fuel because it leads to a more efficient combustion process. Additionally, it increases with a decrease in the number of carbon atoms in SI fuel because shorter hydrocarbon chains have a higher resistance to knock. Furthermore, adding a methyl group to SI fuel also increases the resistance to knock as it enhances the octane rating of the fuel. Therefore, all of the above factors contribute to an increased resistance to knock in SI engines.

    Air standard efficiency of diesel engine approaches to otto cycle efficiency when

    • Cut off ratio is increased

    • Cut off ratio is decreased

    • Cut off ratio is constant

    • Cut off ratio is Zero

    Correct Answer
    A. Cut off ratio is decreased
    Explanation
    When the cut off ratio is decreased in a diesel engine, it means that the combustion process is allowed to continue for a longer duration. This leads to more heat being added to the working fluid and a higher expansion ratio, which increases the work output of the engine. As a result, the air standard efficiency of the diesel engine approaches the efficiency of the Otto cycle, which is a theoretical cycle with maximum efficiency for a spark-ignition engine. Therefore, the correct answer is that the air standard efficiency of a diesel engine approaches the Otto cycle efficiency when the cut off ratio is decreased.

    The reference fuels for knock rating of spark ignition engines would include  - ProProfs

    The reference fuels for knock rating of spark ignition engines would include 

    • Normal heptane and iso-octane

    • Normal octane and aniline

    • Iso-octane and normal hexane

    • Iso-octane and alpha-methyl naphthalene

    Correct Answer
    A. Normal heptane and iso-octane
    Explanation
    The knock rating of a spark ignition engine refers to its resistance to knocking or detonation. Knocking occurs when the air-fuel mixture in the engine's combustion chamber ignites prematurely or unevenly, causing a knocking sound and potentially damaging the engine. The knock rating is determined by comparing the engine's performance with reference fuels. Normal heptane and iso-octane are commonly used as reference fuels because they have well-defined knock characteristics. Normal heptane has a low knock resistance, while iso-octane has a high knock resistance. By comparing the engine's performance with these two reference fuels, the knock rating can be determined.
