🔍 Key Concepts

• How a governor maintains a set engine speed on a diesel engine • Relationship between fuel quantity and engine speed/power in diesels • What systems actually change with load versus what is normally fixed (compression ratio, timing, turbo speed)

💭 Think About

• When a load comes on the engine and the speed wants to drop, what can the governor realistically and quickly change to bring the speed back up? • Which of these choices is normally a fixed design feature of the engine, and which is something that can be adjusted continuously during operation? • Think about what a throttle or engine control really manipulates on a diesel compared with a gasoline engine.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option directly affects engine power output on each cycle. • Eliminate any options that are normally mechanically fixed once the engine is built (do not change every second). • Consider which option can respond rapidly and repeatedly as the load and speed vary.
