As we can use only the linear part of the characteristic, this shows that the flapper can only travel 0.01 mm, therefore DELTA psi obtained can only be less than 1 psi. Can we use the flapper nozzle system ?

No , the flapper system will gives erratic readings.
Yes, but the readings obtained between DELTA psi need to be amplified.
Yes, but the valves need a servo booster.
No, the nozzle/flapper assembly needs modification.

How is it ensured that the flow of the scavenge air is directed symmetrically through the cylinder ?

By the uniflow system.
By the scavenge port shape.
By the turbocharger.
By the reverse system.

This characteristic shows the output pressure of a controller effecting valve lift. If PB = 100 % is the graph shown in 'a' . What is the graph of PB = 50 % ?

Graph d
Graph e
Graph f
Graph b

What would be the variation of output on this pneumatic controller if Proportional B and PB = infinity, by varying the input as shown here ?

No response, nil
1 psi
Infinity, full open, full close control system
Between 3 and 15 psi

Suppose the variation of INPUT is 1 psi down instead of 1 psi up on this pneumatic P-Controller. If the proportional band PB is 25 % what will be the output pressure ?

2 psi
6 psi
3 psi
0 psi
