a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: None.
2. In liquid cooling, the liquid becomes heated in its passage through the jackets and is itself cooled by means of an air-cooled radiator system.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: None.
3. The coolant to be employed in liquid cooling system should have ______________
a) low freezing temperature
b) a high boiling point
c) a large latent heat of vaporisation
d) all of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The coolant to be employed in liquid cooling system should have
i) low freezing temperature
ii) a high boiling point
iii) a large latent heat of vaporisation
iv) non-corrosive
v) easily and cheaply available.
4. Anti-freeze mixtures are added to fuel in extreme winter seasons to lower its freezing temperatures below the danger point.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: No, but actually, anti-freeze mixtures are added to water in extreme winter seasons to lower its freezing temperatures below the danger point.

7. What are the various methods used for circulating water around the cylinder and cylinder heads?
a) thermo-syphon cooling
b) forced or pump cooling
c) cooling with thermostatic regulator
d) all of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The various methods used for circulating water around the cylinder and cylinder heads are
i) thermo-syphon cooling
ii) forced or pump cooling
iii) cooling with thermostatic regulator
iv) pressurized water cooling
v) evaporative cooling.
8. The thermo-syphon cooling system can be used in high output engines due to its inability to meet the requirement of large flow rates of water.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: In fact, the thermo-syphon cooling system are avoided to be used in high output engines due to its inability to meet the requirement of large flow rates of water.
9. In thermo-syphon cooling system, the cooling only depends on temperature and is independent of the engine speed.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: None.
10. The circulation of water starts only after the engine has become hot enough to cause thermo-syphon.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: None.
11. The main disadvantage of forced cooling is that cooling is ensured under all conditions of operation.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: No, but actually, it is the main advantage of forced cooling is that cooling is ensured under all conditions of operation.
12. Which of the following are the components of a water cooling system?
a) water jacket
b) water pump
c) fan
d) all of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Components of the water cooling system are
i) water jacket
ii) water pump
iii) fan
iv) thermostat
v) connecting hoses
vi) radiators
vii) radiator cap.
