    Theoretical Training Manuals AIRCRAFT GENERAL KNOWLEDGE 3 OXFORD Aviation TWaining Succeed throu; PISTON ENGINES GENERAL Use these questions for self testing after you have studied each of the relevant chapters in the manual. The answers are given at the end of each subject group (Piston Engines, Propellers and Gas Turbines). Introduction to the Four Stroke Engine 1 1 The temperature of the gases within the cylinder of a four stroke engine during the power stroke will: a) Be constant. b) Decrease. c) Increase. 4) Follow Charles’s Law. 2. The number of revolutions of the crankshaft required to complete a full cycle in a four stroke engine a) 6 b 4 2) 2 4d 8 3. The inlet valve opens before T.D.C. in the exhaust stroke to: a) _ Increase the pressure in the cylinder on completion of the induction stroke b) Reduce engine vibration. ©) Allow the incoming mixture to mix with a certain proportion of the exhaust gases. d) Induce a greater amount of mixture into the cylinder. 4. The correct working cyele of a four stroke engine is a) _ Exhaust, power, induction, compression. b) Compression, power, exhaust, induction, ¢) Induction, power, compression, exhaust. 4) Power, exhaust, compression, induction. Valve overlap is incorporated in the valve timing of a piston engine to: a) _ Improve volumetric efficiency. b) Reduce wear on the big end bearings, ©) Increase the engine’s compression ratio. 4) Prevent a weak cut when the engine is accelerated rapidly. 2-24 © Oxford Aviation Services Limited PISTON ENGINES GENERAL 6. Tt. With an increase in the rotational speed of a four stroke engine, the valve overlap: a) b) ) 4d Increases. Decreases. Remains constant. Increases up to ground idle and thereafter decreases. Ina normally aspirated engine, exhaust back pressure: a) b) °) d Decreases as an aircraft climbs and thereby reduces the rate of decline of the engine power output Increases as an aircraft climbs and thereby reduces the engine power output. Is affected by the power lever position. Decreases as an aircraft descends and thereby improves the engine power output, When the spark ignites the mixture: a) b) °) d) The explosion pushes the piston down. The mixture changes from rich to weak forward of the flame front. Complete combustion occurs within 8 to 10 microseconds. ‘Temperature and pressure increase within the cylinder. If the volume of a quantity of gas is halved during compression a) d) ¢) d) Its pressure is approximately doubled, Its temperature remains constant. Its mass is approximately doubled. Its pressure is approximately halved. The term “Indicated Mean Effective Pressure” refers to: a) b) °) d The maximum working pressure in the engine cylinder. The effective working pressure in the cylinder during the power stroke. The pressure achieved during compression. ‘The minimum working pressure applied to the piston during the cycle. The degrees of rotation to complete a full cycle on a nine cylinder engine will be: a) b) °) @) 180 360 720 80 2-25 © Oxford Aviation Services Limited
