2 | The Molten metal is used in ___________ process | Machining | Forging | Casting | Deep Drawing | c | Casting: This is a manufacturing process where a liquid material is usually poured into a mold, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to solidify. The solidified part is also known as a casting, which is ejected or broken out of the mold to complete the process. Metals such as iron, aluminum, magnesium, and copper alloys are commonly used in casting due to their melting points. Casting is often used for making complex shapes that would be otherwise difficult or uneconomical to make by other methods. The molten metal is poured into the mould and once it cools, it hardens into the shape of the mould. |

17 | In an I.C. engine, when the primary circuit in the coil ignition system breaks, the voltage produced across the secondary terminal is in the range of _______. | 800 V to 1200 V | 80 V to 120 V | 2000 V to 5000 V | 8000 V to 12,000 V | d | Ignition system: All spark ignition engines require and ignition system to ignite a fuel mixture in the cylinder. A very high voltage is required to generate sparks to ignite the cylinder charge at the set time. Two types of ignition systems are used: Battery/coil ignition system Magneto ignition system Ignition coil: It is used to step up low voltage to high voltage to generate sparks. It consists of two windings, one is wound over a soft iron core. The secondary winding is grounded over the core. It consists of about 21, 000 turns. One end of the windings is connected to the secondary terminal and the other end of the primary winding. The primary winding is wound over the secondary winding and consists of about 200 – 300 turns. One end of the windings is connected to the secondary terminal and the other end of the primary winding. The end are connected to the external terminal the bakelite cap insulates the secondary terminal from the container and primary terminals. In an internal combustion (IC) engine with a coil ignition system, the primary circuit is connected to the battery and is responsible for building up magnetic field energy in the ignition coil. When the primary circuit is interrupted, the collapse of the magnetic field induces a high voltage (ranging 8000 V to 12000 V) across the secondary terminal of the ignition coil. This high voltage is necessary to create a spark at the spark plug, which ignites the air – fuel mixture in the engine cylinder. The voltage produced across the secondary terminal of the ignition coil can be quite high, typically in the range of several thousand volts. The exact voltage depends on various factors, including the design of the ignition coil, the resistance and inductance of the primary and secondary circuits, and the specific conditions at the moment of ignition. |

60 | Which of the following statements is correct about a working engine? | Operation of the flywheel is continuous, whereas operation of the governor is more or less intermittent. | Operation of both the flywheel and the governor is continuous. | Operation of the governor is continuous, whereas operation of the flywheel is more or less intermittent | Operation of both the flywheel and the governor is intermittent. | a | Flywheel: The flywheel is mounted on the engine crankshaft. A large ring gear has attached to the flywheel. The flywheel is bolted to a cover that carries a pressure plate, pressure springs, and releases levers. The entire assembly of the flywheel and the cover rotate all the time. When an automatic transmission is used the torque converter assembly acts as the flywheel. A flywheel is constantly rotating, even when the power source driving it fluctuates. It acts as a reservoir of kinetic energy, absorbing excess energy during periods of high power and releasing it during periods of low power, thus smoothing out the overall power output. The flywheel acts as a passive and continuous stabilizer. The flywheel stored energy during the power stroke is supplied to the crankshaft during the idle stroke i.e. suction, compression, and exhaust. It serves as a mounting and frictional surface for clutch assembly. Governors: A mechanism used to control the speed of an engine is called the governor. A governor is a speed – sensitive device. The governor is a devide for holding any speed steady between idling and maximu speed. The fuel injection pump operates in conjunction with a governor, which is required to control the injected quantity of fuel so that the engien neither stalls when ideling nor exceeds the maximum speed for which it is designed. Unlike the flywheel, a governor doesn’s operate continuously. It typically comes into action only when the system’s actual rotational speed deviates from the desired setpoint. The governor acts as an active and intermittent regulator. |

The Carnot cycle is one of the best-known reversible cycles. The Carnot cycle is composed of four reversible processes. • Carnot cycle consists of 2 isothermal and 2 adiabatic processes. • An isothermal process is a very slow process and the adiabatic process is a very fast process and the combination of a slow process and a fast process is very difficult. • So a Carnot cycle is also known as an impractical cycle.

As such three strokes are idle strokes The power stoke takes place in every two strokes i.e. one power stroke for one revolution of the crankshaft Due to more idle strokes and non – uniform load on the crankshaft, a heavier flywheel is required The engine has a more uniform load as every time the piston comes down it is the power stroke. As such a lighter flywheel is used The engine has more parts such as valves and its operating mechanism. Therefore, the engine is heavier The engine has no valve and valve operating mechanism; Therefore, it is lighter in weight The engine is costlier as it has more parts The engine is less expensive as it has a lesser number of parts The engine efficiency is more as the charge gets completely burnt out. Consequently, fuel efficiency is more. The efficiency is less. A portion of the charge escape through the exhaust port, and because of this, the fuel efficiency is less. |

The primary driving force for mass transfer is the concentration difference.
