250+ TOP MCQs on Ignition Timing and Engine Parameters and Answers

IC Engine Interview Questions and Answers for freshers on “Ignition Timing and Engine Parameters”.

1. If the engine is operating with richer mixtures the optimum spark timing must be _____________
a) constant
b) increased
c) retarded
d) none of the mentioned
Answer: c
Clarification: If the engine is operating with richer mixtures the optimum spark timing must be retarded as if the mixture is rich it has its low self ignition temperature.

2. Part load operation of a spark ignition engine is not affected by throttling the incoming charge.
a) True
b) False
Answer: b
Clarification: In fact, part load operation of a spark ignition engine is affected by throttling the incoming charge.

3. Due to throttling a smaller amount of charge enters the cylinder and the dilution due to residual gases is also greater.
a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Clarification: None.

4. Ignition delay does not depend upon the type of the fuel used in the engine.
a) True
b) False
Answer: b
Clarification: Actually, ignition delay will depend upon the type of the fuel used in the engine.

5. For maximum power and economy a slow burning fuel needs a higher spark advance than fast burning fuel.
a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Clarification: None.

6. The ignition timing is fixed to obtain minimum power from the engine.
a) True
b) False
Answer: b
Clarification: In fact, the ignition timing is fixed to obtain maximum power from the engine.

7. The ignition timing is affected by _____________
