This set of IC Engine Assessment Questions and Answers focuses on “Mechanical Friction”.

1. The hydrodynamic friction is associated with the phenomena when a complete film of lubricant exists between the two bearing surfaces.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: None.

10. The mechanical friction ___________ with increase in speed.
a) increases
b) reduces
c) unpredictable
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
