Sample Questions

Question 1
On a medium-speed marine diesel driving an OSV main generator, what is the primary purpose of fuel injection timing?
To control jacket-water outlet temperature
To regulate scavenge-air mass flow into the cylinder
To set the crank angle at which fuel begins to burn so peak pressure occurs shortly after top dead center
To set main-bearing lube-oil pressure
Question 2
A diesel engine will not turn on starting air even though bottle pressure is normal and the air-start distributor appears to cycle. The most likely cause is that the:
Cooling-water expansion tank is slightly low
Turning gear is still engaged
Day-tank fuel viscosity is higher than design
Crankcase oil level is slightly above the high mark
Question 3
In a four-stroke-cycle diesel, how many crankshaft revolutions complete one full cycle in each cylinder?
One revolution (360 degrees)
One-half revolution (180 degrees)
Three revolutions (1080 degrees)
Two revolutions (720 degrees)
Question 4
What is the chief function of scavenging on a two-stroke marine diesel?
To inject fuel at the correct crank angle
To remove burned gases from the cylinder and replace them with fresh air
To circulate lube oil to the crosshead
To cool the injector tip between firings
Question 5
The fuel oil service (day) tank on a marine diesel installation is provided to:
Hold the vessel's entire fuel bunker in one place
Keep a settled, treated quantity of fuel ready for immediate use by the engine
Separate lube oil from the fuel before injection
Supply starting air when the receivers run low
