-
In petrol engines, using a fixed octane rating fuel, the increase in engine speed will decrease the knocking tendency.
-
The ignition of the charge by some hot surface within the engine before the passage of spark is called
-
Special reactors, called breeder reactors, supply a net gain of fissionable material.
-
The ratio of the indicated thermal efficiency to the air standard efficiency is known as
-
The octane number of petrol, generally available, is
-
The brake power is the power available
-
The slowing down of fast neutrons is desirable because slow moving neutrons are more effective than fast neutrons in triggering fission.
-
The air standard efficiency ofan I.C. engine is given by (where r = Compression ratio, and γ = Ratio of specific heats)
