During sea trials, a patrol vessel's engine log recorded a steady drop in exhaust temperature whenever the auxiliary cooling blower was engaged. Under standard cruising conditions, the diesel engine operates at peak fuel efficiency only within a narrow, elevated temperature range. When the auxiliary cooling blower remained running for extended periods, fuel consumption increased noticeably to maintain propulsion speed.
Statement: Based on the passage, it is implied that the auxiliary cooling blower increases fuel consumption because it cools the engine below its optimal operating temperature.
Cevap: Cevap
Cevap
True
The passage establishes that the engine runs most efficiently at an elevated temperature and that the blower lowers temperatures while increasing fuel consumption. Combining these facts makes it logically necessary that the cooling action reduces efficiency, making the statement true.
