The ash content of a fuel oil is significant because it _____

is non-combustible and remains partly in the engine.
reflects the overall thermal efficiency of the fuel oil.
indicates the quantity of energy released by burning a unit amount of the fuel.
is useful for determining proper atomization temperatures.

Crankshaft distortions need to be measured and are referred to as _____ .

Any of these answers.
crankshaft deflection measurements.
crankshaft misalignment calibrations.
crankshaft distortion readings.

The fuel delivery pipe between fuel pump and injector, is shown here as a red interrupted line. For ' UMS ' classed vessel, how is this pipe best described ?

It is manufactured of high tensile steel and has to have thermal insulation fitted.
It is manufactured from Austenit Steel and has flame/smoke detectors fitted in the vicinity.
It must be provided with sensors so that the corresponding fuel pump cuts out in case of rupture.
It needs to be a shielded pipe so that in case of rupture the fuel leakage can be contained and the alarm sounded.

What type of engine is shown here?

A two stroke diesel with loop scavenging.
A two stroke diesel with spiral scavenging.
A two stroke diesel with uniflow scavenging.
A two stroke diesel with piston underside scavenging.

Where is the fuel injector leak-off connection fed?

Into the 'in use' daily service tank.
Into the oily bilge collection tank.
Into the fuel bunker tanks.
Into the fuel oil separator suction.

A cylinder of a large diesel engine is 900 mm in diameter and the firing pressure is 80 bar. What is the force exerted on the piston at this firing pressure ?

508,680 kg

The revolutions on the turbocharger have increased during the night with an unmanned engine. This could be caused by _____ .

the viscosity of the fuel being high.
the wind and current being favourable.
poor combustion due to malfunction of fuel valves.
the wind and current holding the vessel back.

What is the largest source of energy loss in a diesel engine?

Mechanical loss in bearings and piston.
Heat loss through the exhaust gas.
Radiated heat loss from the engine.
Heat loss through the cooling water.

What important contribution does Nitrogen have to the combustion process in a Diesel engine?

Acts as a catalyst to the combining of oxygen and the hydrocarbons.
Assists in mixing the charge air with the atomised fuel.
Assists in the cooling process during combustion.
Prevents the deposition of damaging elements on valves and seats.
