🔍 Key Concepts

• Diesel engine scavenging in two-stroke and four-stroke engines • Difference between charging the cylinder with air vs removing exhaust gases • Role of fresh air flow in clearing out burned gases before combustion

💭 Think About

• Think about what is left in the cylinder right after the power (expansion) stroke and before new combustion can happen. • Ask yourself: is scavenging mainly about putting fresh air in, or about what happens to the exhaust gases when that fresh air moves through? • Consider whether scavenging is defined by the pressure of the incoming air, or by the job that incoming air is doing inside the cylinder.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options focus on filling with fresh air only versus removing exhaust gases. • Check if the definition of scavenging should depend on specific air pressure (atmospheric vs above atmospheric) or on the clearing action inside the cylinder. • Make sure the choice you pick clearly involves getting rid of burned gases so the next charge can be efficiently compressed and ignited.
