Sathyabama University-Automobile Engineering Automotive Diesel Engines Papers are aimed at providing student’s with a means of displaying their grasp of the fundamentals of this subject. Questions are expected from topics like definition of cetane number, differences between two stroke and four stroke diesel engine, the understanding of terms like air injection, the meaning of terms like turbulent chamber and pintaux nozzle, principles of exhaust gas recirculation, the necessity and limitations of super charging, what is meant by charge cooling and so on. A number of diagram based questions can also be expected especially in the long answer section, like diagrams of four-stroke diesel engine with a demonstration of how it works, questions on efficiency of diesel cycle, construction and working of distributor type fuel engine pump, sketches of various types of nozzles with appropriate labelling and so on. Thus this paper can be fairly high scoring.
