8. Turbocharged engines produce lower cylinder volumetric efficiencies compared with the normally aspirated induction systems.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: In fact, turbocharged engines produce higher cylinder volumetric efficiencies compared with the normally aspirated induction systems.

9. The compression of the charge entering the cells of the impeller depends upon the centrifugal force effect which decreases with the square of the rotational speed of the impeller wheel.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: In fact, the compression of the charge entering the cells of the impeller depends upon the centrifugal force effect which increases with the square of the rotational speed of the impeller wheel.

10. When the engine is suddenly accelerated there will be a small time delay before the extra energy discharged into the turbine housing volute can speed up the turbine wheel.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Yes, when the engine is suddenly accelerated there will be a small time delay before the extra energy discharged into the turbine housing volute can speed up the turbine wheel.
