Textbook Question
Chapter 24, Problem 9CQ
Why is the catalytic converter placed as close to the engine as possible?
- a. For easier access when working on the engine
- b. So the heat can help the converter work most efficiently
- c. To allow the exhaust pipes from the catalytic converter rearward to be as long as possible
- d. To prevent the heat from the exhaust system moving upward toward the floor of the vehicle

fuel quality
Increasing engine speed will decrease the engine knocking tendency because:
Select one:
Combustion speed will increase due to higher air speed inside the combustion
chamber
O b All of the choices
Oc Intake pressure will decrease due to lower volumetric efficiency
Od Duration of engine reactions will decrease
Swirl vanes in the combustion chamber:
increase the velocity of the airflow
reduce the axial velocity of the airflow
O prevent compressor stall
