a) high-cost
b) low-cost
c) unpredictable
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Cyanuric acid is a low-cost solid material in comparison to other chemicals that sublime in the exhaust flow.

2. ____________ are materials that absorb selected molecular compounds and catalyze chemical reactions.
a) Catalysts
b) Chromium
c) Zeolite
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Zeolite are materials that absorb selected molecular compounds and catalyze chemical reactions, while catalysts are not material and also chromium does not serve the purpose of absorption.

8. EGR combines with the exhaust residual left in the cylinder from the previous cycle to effectively reduce the ____________ combustion temperature.
a) minimum
b) maximum
c) unpredictable
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: EGR combines with the exhaust residual left in the cylinder from the previous cycle to effectively reduce the maximum combustion temperature as during exhaust the temperature is very high.

9. The flow rate of EGR is not controlled by the Engine management system.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The flow rate of EGR is only controlled by the Engine management system.
