6. During the operation of a four-cycle diesel engine when is fuel injected into the cylinder? Multiple Choice a. b. c. d. slightly before the piston reaches top dead center on the exhaust stroke slightly after the piston reaches top dead center on the exhaust stroke slightly before the piston reaches top dead center on the compression stroke slightly after the piston reaches top dead center on the compression stroke

7. During the operation of a 4-cycle diesel engine when does the power stroke occur? Multiple Choice a. b. c. d. Just after top dead center following the exhaust stroke. Just after top dead center following the compression stroke. Just after bottom dead center following the intake stroke. Just after bottom dead center following the compression stroke.

8. What is the primary reason a 2-cycle diesel engine produces less power for a given size than its 4-stroke counterpart? Multiple Choice a. Less fuel can be injected per stroke. b. c. d. A 2-stroke camshaft must turn at the same speed as the crankshaft. Available work is lost due to premature depressurization of the cylinder. The piston stoke is shorter.
