Q

A disadvantage of a two-stroke/cycle diesel engine is __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Differences in how two-stroke and four-stroke diesel engines complete the intake, compression, power, and exhaust events • How often a power stroke occurs per crankshaft revolution in two-stroke vs four-stroke engines • What typical disadvantages are associated with higher thermal loading in engine components

💭 Think About

• Think about which option describes something that actually causes extra stress or wear on engine parts, rather than just a feature of how a two-stroke operates. • Compare the temperature conditions in a cylinder that fires every revolution vs every other revolution. What does that do to piston and cylinder temperatures? • Ask yourself: Do more frequent power strokes tend to increase or decrease thermal loading on the engine components?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice clearly describes a negative consequence (stress, wear, or complexity) rather than a neutral characteristic. • Consider which option is directly connected to heat buildup in the piston and cylinder area. • Verify in your notes which features of two-stroke diesels are normally listed as advantages (e.g., power per revolution) so you can eliminate those.
