Q

Some diesel engines are supercharged with a __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Diesel engine air supply and how more air affects power • The role of exhaust gas energy in boosting engine intake air • Difference between fuel delivery components and air charging components

💭 Think About

• Which device uses exhaust gas flow to drive a compressor that forces more air into the cylinders? • Which options are parts that handle fuel (not air) in a diesel engine, and therefore would not be used to supercharge it? • Think about the common term used in both automotive and marine engines to describe forced induction using a turbine-driven compressor.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice specifically deals with compressing intake air, not fuel. • Eliminate any options whose main job is injecting or atomizing fuel, not moving or compressing air. • Ask yourself: which term is widely used in both cars and ships when talking about boosting engine power with exhaust-driven forced induction?
