🔍 Key Concepts

• Exhaust gas temperature as an indicator of cylinder performance and load • Typical uses of a dynamometer in engine testing • Which common marine instrument is designed to measure high temperatures in locations like exhaust manifolds

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: To compare how hard each cylinder is working, what property of the exhaust gas would change if one cylinder was overloaded or underloaded? • Which instrument, by definition, is meant for measuring temperature at very high levels, such as hot exhaust gas? • Can any of the other listed instruments realistically be attached to each exhaust outlet on a diesel engine to give comparative readings?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which device is specifically used to measure very high temperatures rather than power, energy content, or distance • Eliminate any instrument that is clearly not related to engines or temperature measurement • Confirm that the correct instrument can be installed on, or used near, each cylinder’s exhaust outlet to compare readings
