Engine testing: Morse test applicability For which engines can the Morse test (cylinder cut-out method for indicated power estimation) be conducted? Choose the correct option.
Mechanical Engineering
IC Engines and Nuclear Power Plants
Difficulty: Easy
Choose an option
-
APetrol engines
-
BDiesel engines
-
CMulti-cylinder engines
-
DAll of these
Answer
Correct Answer: Multi-cylinder engines
Explanation
ConceptThe Morse test estimates indicated power by cutting out one cylinder at a time and measuring changes in brake power. This requires more than one cylinder; it can be applied to either SI or CI engines provided they are multi-cylinder.
Final AnswerMulti-cylinder engines
