4:caustic embirtlement
5:minimum number of cylinders required for 4s engine to have a starting air system
ans:i said 6. but told 7 cylinders will b much easier to arrange.... air starting valve
opens 15deg after dead center n closes 10deg before exhaust begins.. so starting
air period is 125deg..firing interval for six cylinder 4s engine is 720/6=120deg...the
overlap is 5deg... which is very less...but can b done by reducing the 15deg after
dead center n 10 deg before valve opens but will b difficult on turbocharged

BISWAS SIR AND MUKERJEE SIR,
Funtion 4B
1.what is difference between higher calorific value and lower calorific value.
Ans. During combustion, hydrogen from the fuel will reacts with oxygen in air will
produce water along with heat, when this water takes heat it becomes steam. If it
recovers the heat from the steam then it is called higher calorific value. If it not
recovers the heat from the steam then it is called lower calorific value....
