I got this question in a job interview.

My doubt stems from Air Cooled Systems in portion Heat Rejection and Cooling of IC Engine

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(a) True

Air-cooled systems are commonly used in industrial and agricultural engines, where the use of water as a coolant may not be ideal due to factors like water availability, cost, or potential for contamination. These systems are simpler, more robust, and more reliable in environments where liquid coolant might be impractical.
