Question

Turbocharged engines produce lower cylinder volumetric efficiencies compared with the normally aspirated induction systems.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in an online quiz.

My doubt stems from Turbocharging in chapter Supercharging of IC Engine

Answer 1

Answer: (b) False

Explanation: Turbocharged engines generally produce higher cylinder volumetric efficiencies compared to normally aspirated induction systems. This is because the turbocharger forces more air (or charge) into the engine's cylinders, allowing for better filling of the cylinder during the intake stroke. This increases the amount of air and fuel mixture available for combustion, which leads to higher efficiency and power output compared to naturally aspirated engines.
