In an internal combustion engine, which of the following is a primary function of the piston rings fitted around a piston?
- AOpening and closing intake ports to admit fresh air-fuel mixture during the intake stroke
- Sealing combustion gases inside the cylinder and transferring heat to the cylinder wallCevap
- CRegulating the ratio of air to fuel entering the combustion chamber
- DConverting the reciprocating up-and-down motion of the piston into rotational torque
Cevap
Sealing combustion gases inside the cylinder and transferring heat to the cylinder wall
Piston rings serve two critical functions: they provide a spring-tensioned seal between the piston and cylinder wall to prevent high-pressure combustion gases from leaking into the crankcase (blow-by), and they provide a direct thermal conduction path to dissipate excessive heat from the piston crown to the cooled cylinder wall.
