What is the purpose of short small cross-section pipes in pulse turbocharging?
What is the purpose of short small cross-section pipes in pulse turbocharging?
- To increase exhaust pressure
- To decrease kinetic energy associated with exhaust blow down
- To reduce exhaust pulses
- To utilize kinetic energy associated with exhaust blow down (correct)
What happens when the exhaust valve opens in pulse turbocharging?
What happens when the exhaust valve opens in pulse turbocharging?
- The blow-down energy is completely wasted
- Considerable part of the blow-down energy is converted into exhaust pulses (correct)
- The blow-down energy is used to drive the engine
- The blow-down energy is stored for later use
How does pulse turbocharging make use of exhaust blow-down energy?
How does pulse turbocharging make use of exhaust blow-down energy?
- By reducing the number of exhaust pulses
- By increasing the size of exhaust ports
- By using longer pipes to connect exhaust ports to the turbine
- By connecting each exhaust port to the turbine with short small cross-section pipes (correct)
