Question

As the load increases the maximum pressure in the cylinder has a tendency to increase slightly.

(a) True

(b) False

I got this question in exam.

My doubt is from Engine Friction topic in portion Engine Friction and Lubrication of IC Engine

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(a) True

As the load increases, the maximum pressure in the cylinder tends to increase slightly. Higher loads require more power to be generated, which leads to higher combustion pressures to meet the engine's output demands. This increase in pressure affects engine performance, fuel consumption, and friction characteristics.
