Question 385Motor Plants - Assistant Engineer
70% to passWhich of the turbocharging methods listed directs the exhaust gases to the turbine at fairly uniform velocity and pressure?
The correct answer is A) Constant pressure. In the constant pressure turbocharging method, the exhaust gases are directed to the turbine at fairly uniform velocity and pressure. This is achieved by using a manifold or header system that collects the exhaust gases from the engine cylinders and delivers them to the turbine in a steady, continuous flow, rather than in distinct pulses. The other options are incorrect because: B) Pulse pressure refers to a system where the exhaust gases reach the turbine in distinct pulses, C) Constant velocity systems maintain a constant flow rate but not necessarily a constant pressure, and D) Axial flow refers to the direction of airflow through the turbine, not the method of delivering the exhaust gases.
