Q204

The spark ignition engines are governed by

A.
Hit and miss governing
B.
Qualitative governing
C.
Quantitative governing
Answer
D.
Combination of (B) and (C)

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
-The spark ignition engines are governed by Quantitative governing. -SI engines being quantitatively governed by controlling the quantity of charge inducted, leading to high throttling losses. -To qualitatively govern the engine, charge purity was reduced by incorporating EGR, thereby reducing the amount of available oxygen in the charge inducted.
