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
  • A
    Petrol engines
  • B
    Diesel engines
  • C
    Multi-cylinder engines
  • D
    All 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
