Chapter 29, Problem 10RQ
Which of the following statements about a fuel volume test is not true?
a. This test measures the flow rate of the pump and can help isolate fuel system restrictions or weak pumps.
b. The test is conducted by collecting the fuel dispensed by the certain during a period of time, normally 5 seconds.
c. The flow of fuel into the container should be smooth and continuous with no signs of air bubbles.
d. Poor results may indicate a bad pump or restrictions in the delivery system.

The diagrams show the cylinder of a petrol engine in 4 stages. Petrol vapour
and air are drawn into the cylinder, The mixture is then squeezed together, and
then exploded by a spark. The explosion pushes down the piston. The exhaust
gases are then expelled from the cylinder.

Use the first law of thermodynamics to analyse the energy changes during the
process.
At each stage explain what happens to
the pressure of the gas;
exhaust
the temperature of the gas;
the number of molecules in the cylinder;
the internal energy of the gas;
the work done on or by the gas:
the thermal energy exchanged with the environment.

CO2 levels are highest when the air-fuel ratiois slightly leaner than stoichiometric.b. The production of CO2 is directly related tothe amount of fuel consumed; therefore,more fuel-efficient engines produce less CO2c. To reduce CO2 levels in the exhaust, engineers are working hard to decrease fuel consumption to keep CO2low.d. The concern for CO2 emissions is one of theprimary reasons for the delayed use of alternative fuels for automobiles.arrow_forward
