1

The radiator is responsible for tranferring heat from the coolant to:

60% Answer Correctly

outside air

cylinder heads

engine block

thermostat


Solution

The radiator is responsible for tranferring heat from the coolant to the outside air. Radiator hoses transfer coolant to and from the engine to the radiator and a radiator cap maintains pressure in the cooling system to increase the boiling point of the coolant mixture and thus allow it to absorb more heat.


2

What is the name of the proper ratio of air to fuel necessary so that an engine burns all fuel with no excess air?

62% Answer Correctly

stoichiometric ratio

combustion ratio

ignition ratio

residual ratio


Solution

The stoichiometric ratio defines the proper ratio of air to fuel necessary so that an engine burns all fuel with no excess air. For gasoline fuel, the stoichiometric ratio is about 14.7:1 or for every one gram of fuel, 14.7 grams of air are required. Too much air results in a lean air-fuel mixture that burns more slowly and hotter while too much fuel results in a rich mixture that burns quicker and cooler.


3

Too much air results in a __________ air-fuel mixture that burns more slowly and hotter.

56% Answer Correctly

rich

heavy

lean

light

4

Which engine component converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion that's used to power the vehicle and its components?

73% Answer Correctly

camshaft

driveshaft

crankshaft

halfshaft


Solution

The crankshaft converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion that's used to power the vehicle and its components.


5

Which of the following is not a primary function of a vehicle's lubrication system?

62% Answer Correctly

quiets engine noise

clean contaminants

cools engine parts

increases fuel economy


Solution

The lubrication system lubricates engine components by putting an oil film between them to reduce friction and smooth engine operation, cools by absorbing heat from engine parts, seals the pistons and cylinders to contain combustion, cleans contaminants, and quiets engine noise.
