3. Intercoolers increase
the efficiency of the
induction system by
reducing induction air
heat created by the
supercharger or
turbocharger and
promoting more
thorough combustion.
4. The rocker arm is an
oscillating lever that
conveys radial
movement from
the cam lobe into linear
movement at the poppet
valve to open it.
5. Fuel injection is a
system for
admitting fuel into
an internal
combustion
engine.

8. The three main
functions of piston
rings in reciprocating
engines are :
-Sealing the
combustion/expansion
chamber.
-Supporting heat
transfer from the
piston to
the cylinder wall.
-Regulating engine oil
consumption.
12. This used as a forced
induction device used to
allow more power to be
produced for an engine of
a given size. A
turbocharged engine can
be more powerful and
efficient than a naturally
aspirated engine because
the turbine forces more
air, and proportionately
more fuel, into the
combustion chamber than
atmospheric pressure
alone.
13. A cylinder is the
central working part of
an engine or pump,
the space in which
a piston travels
14. The piston of an internal
combustion engine is
acted upon by the
pressure of the expanding
combustion gases in
the combustion
chamber space at the top
of the cylinder. This force
then acts downwards
through the connecting
rod and onto
the crankshaft.
17. The connecting
rod or conrod conn
ects the piston to
the crank or
crankshaft. Together
with the crank, they
form a simple
mechanism that
converts linear
motion into rotating
motion.
