The reason for supercharging in any engine is to
A. Increase efficiency
B. Increase power
C. Reduce weight and bulk for a given output
D. Effect fuel economy
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
The reason for supercharging in any engine is to Reduce weight and bulk for a given output -A supercharger is an air compressor that increases the pressure or density of air supplied to an internal combustion engine. This gives each intake cycle of the engine more oxygen, letting it burn more fuel and do more work, thus increasing power.This Question Belongs to Mechanical Engineering >> Internal Combustion Engines (I.C.

The cetane (C16H34) which is a straight chain paraffin, is assigned a cetane number of
A. 0
B. 50
C. 100
D. 120
Why not options B ?
I think b is more preparble answer because efficient engine more useful for people's not the bulkuness
Correct answer is B
correct answer is b so why c is given ??
ultimately the aim reason is to increase power , right?
so option b is also correct ?
answer;B
1.Supercharging increases power output of an engine without increasing fuel consumption.
2.Certain amount of power generated by the engine goes for the compression of air but overall power output is more.
3.The engine which is to be used with a supercharger is made to withstand higher forces due to supercharging.
