A few of you may know that I'm a leader in 4-H for the small engines project in our club. Here's some of the questions I'm asking the 12-18 year old this year. There are 3 girls and 2 boys this year. Let's see how you guys/gals stack up.
1. T or F An engine is a machine that converts a form of energy into mechanical force.
2. Small engines are generally rated up to _______ HP. A) 20 B) 25 C) 30 D) neither A, B or C
3. Approximately ______% of the energy relaesed when fuel is oxidized in a typical small engine is converted into useful work.
4. T or F Heat is the resource that provides the capicity to do work.
5. T or F A substance can be in solid, liquid or gas state.
6. Three methods of heat transfer are ______. A) conduction, convection and locomotion B) conduction, radiation and locomotion C) conduction, convection and radiation D) neither A, B or C
7. Horsepower is a unit of power equal to _____. A) 746W B) 33,000 lb-ft/min C) neither A or B D) either A or B
8. T or F Both 4 stroke and 2 stroke engines complete 4 distinctive events during each cycle.
9. T or F Small engines are either air-cooled or liquid-cooled.
10. When heat is added to water, it changes to ________.
11. T or F Generators and snow throwers commonly use a verticla shaft, horizontal cylinder engine.
12. The first successful gasoline engine was developed by _______. A) Thomas Savery B) Eugene Lebon C) James Watt D) Neither A, B or C
13. T or F Kinetic energy is energy of motion.
14. T or F Small engines are either spark ignited or compression ignition based on how the fuel is ignited.
15. When heat it added to ice, it changes to ________>
16. T or F The size of lawn tractor engines commonly range from 11 to 18 HP.
Let's see how you do and I'll post the answers later this week.
