(d) none of the mentioned

This question was posed to me in a job interview.

Question is from Effects of Supercharging topic in division Supercharging of IC Engine

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(a) 1.0 to 1.3 bar

The pressure of a supercharger typically ranges from 1.0 to 1.3 bar. This pressure increase helps force more air into the engine's intake, enabling it to burn more fuel and thus produce more power. The supercharger increases the intake air pressure, enhancing engine performance, especially at higher altitudes or under high load conditions.
