Question 392Motor Plants - Assistant Engineer
70% to passIn a turbocharger, inlet air velocity is increased in the_______________.
Ainlet nozzle ring
Bstationary diffuser passages
Ccompressor outlet volute
Drotating impeller vanes
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) rotating impeller vanes. In a turbocharger, the rotating impeller vanes are responsible for increasing the inlet air velocity. As the impeller spins, it imparts kinetic energy to the incoming air, accelerating it and increasing its velocity before it enters the compressor outlet volute. The other options are incorrect because: A) the inlet nozzle ring does not increase velocity, it merely directs the airflow; B) the stationary diffuser passages actually decrease the air velocity to increase pressure; and C) the compressor outlet volute is where the high-velocity air exits the compressor, it does not increase the inlet velocity.
