Part A
Name the materials for different parts of an IC Engines.
Answer
Common materials include: Piston (Aluminum alloy or Cast iron), Cylinder block (Cast iron or Aluminum alloy), Connecting rod (Forged steel), Crankshaft (Forged steel or Nodular cast iron), and Valves (Silicon-chromium steel).
What is Octane number?
Answer
The Octane number is a measure of the anti-knock quality of a spark-ignition engine fuel. It is defined as the percentage by volume of iso-octane in a mixture of iso-octane and normal heptane that matches the knocking intensity of the fuel under standard test conditions.
