4.2. Terminologies Related to Volumetric Measurements

Try these first

1. 1.

   What happens to engine performance as altitude increases?

   Hint

   Think about why engines need air.

2. 2.

   Define struck measure.

   Hint

   What does 'struck' mean?

3. 3.

   What is the primary effect of increased altitude on internal combustion engines?

   • Increased efficiency
   • Decreased power
   • Higher air density

   Hint

   Think about how engines use air.

4. 4.

   True or False: Heaped measure includes additional material above struck measure.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider how material is loaded.

5. 5.

   Discuss scenarios where using a turbocharger versus simply adding more machinery would be advantageous.

   Hint

   Consider operational costs and efficiency versus manpower.

6. 6.

   Analyze how the understanding of swell and shrinkage factors can affect project timelines and costs.

   Hint

   Think about planning and what happens if we have too little or too much material.
