Question No. 11

What is the working principle of hydrostatic propulsion system in a tractor?

Answer: It depends on Pascal law. As the pressure in the system is the same, the force that the fluid gives to the surroundings is therefore equal to ‘pressure × area’. In such a way, a small piston feels a small force and a large piston feels a large force

Question No. 12

What is oil grade SAE stands for?

Answer: "SAE" stands for "SOCIETY OF AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERS" (USA).

Question No. 13

By mixing oil in fuel of four stroke bike will it damage engine, performance? If not than what happen?

Answer: Yes, absolutely. It leads to higher wear and tear in cylinder liners, piston and damage of the piston. It even leads to knocking and detonation where abnormal combustion appears and dark smoke and harsh sound will be produced by the engine.

Question No. 14

Why are car steering wheels round?

Answer:

1.                  A steering wheel is round so that your hands locate in the same place regardless of the steering wheel's orientation. 

2.                  While turning / steering the car it is ergonomically the best design. 

3.                  Also as design is circle, there are no edges to hit while turning / steering is moving as the circle position remains the same.

4.                  From Design view, it should be able to give uniform force i.e. torque, by varying the distance from center will vary the torque provided.

Question No. 15

How Trains take turns, though there is no any differential?

Answer: Purpose of the differential is to enable vehicles to take turn, by allowing both the wheel to rotate with different speed. This is required when wheels, like in car, are connected with same axle. Interestingly, wheel in trains are not connected with the axle, they are independent and hence can take turns without ant differential. This is same as how the bullock cart takes turns, without any differential.

Question No. 16

What is the difference between BS2 & BS3 engine?

Answer: IN BS2 there is No catalytic converter to reduce formation of co and HC whereas in BS3 catalytic converter is available to reduce the formation of HC and CO. So less emission of HC and co will take place in BS3

Question No. 17

Why big tyre used in rear of Tractors?

Answer: Tractors have big rear tires because, the larger the surface area of the tractor's wheels touching the ground, the more pulling power you have. Like how tractor pullers have large tires.

Another reason is that the tractor doesn't have to operate at a higher speed to get the same ground speed with larger tires. Gear ratios don't have to be as high b/c of the larger tires.

Question No. 18

What will happen if someone adds oil to the fuel of four stroke bike engine?

Answer: This will result in damaging of the engine faster. Adding oil will lead to the higher wear and tear of the cylinder liner, piston and damage to the piston. It will lead to abnormal combustion and knocking and detonation. Dark smoke and abnormal sounds will be generated by the engine. One should not mix oil with the fuel of four stroke engine.

Question No. 19

How air conditioners work in cars?

Answer: Air conditioners are based on the principles of evaporation and condensation and then compression and expansion. The hot air of the car is removed by the process of evaporation and then the condensation of the evaporated air takes places which is then further compressed by the compressor and then finally expanded to us in the form of cold breeze. Somehow, Air conditioning reduces the average of the car, as the energy is required to remove the hot air and then compression and expansion.

Question No. 20

Why entropy decreases with the increase in temperature?

Answer: The relation is ds = dQ/T

Entropy is inversely proportional to the temperature so as temperature increases, entropy decreases.

Question No. 21

What is SAE? Mention the importance of SAE to the automobile domain.

Answer: SAE stands for society of automotive engineers. This society is responsible for developing the standards for the engineering of powered vehicles of all kind. The vehicles may include car, boat, truck and even aircraft. SAE has developed standards for ground vehicles and aerospace vehicles. SAE also encourages students of engineering, technology, science and math’s disciplines. This society has been publishing technical information since 1906.

Question No. 22

How does the thermostat work?

Answer: When the engine is too cold the thermostat closes the main valve, thus stopping the flow to the radiator. When the engine is too hot, it opens the main valve for normal circulation through the radiator.

Question No. 23

Why involute curve used in gear?

Answer:

·                     It’s smooth to drive the gear.

·                     In gears contact is only point, this type is curve take the more load than normal one

Question No. 24

What does it mean when your car emits white smoke?

Answer: White smoke is a sign of a coolant leak as is milky brownish oil. This could be due to bad head gasket or cracked block. Burning oil smoke is usually more bluish in color. White smoke is usually associated with a coolant leak, but burning oil can also look like white smoke

Question No. 25

What happens if gasoline is used in a Diesel engine? Diesel engine will work?

Answer: No, it will not work, as the Compression ratio of Petrol engine is 6 to 10 & that of Diesel engine is 15 to 22. Thus on such high compression, gasoline gets highly compressed & it may blast.
