15. What is a catalyst ?
Catalyst is a chemical substance which increases the rate of chemical reaction. Examples are Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium.
16. Why are the side of the frame upswept at two places?
The frame is upswept at the rear and front to accommodate the movement of the axles due to springing. It also keeps the chassis height low.
17. What is the function of a bumper?
A
bumper is the front-most or rear-most part, which is designed to allow

A self propelled vehicle is known as an “Automobile”
20. State the major types of automobiles according to the fuel used.
- Petrol Engines (SI engines)
- Diesel Engines (CI engines)
- Gas Engines (either SI or CI mode)
21. How automobiles are classified into different types?
Based on Make & Model
• Based on Fuel• Based on Body Style
• Based on No. of Wheels
• Based on Drive
• Based on Transmission
22.What are the two types of piston rings?

24.What is the function of piston, connecting rod, crank shaft and cylinder head?
• Piston – The piston assembly transfers the force from the power stroke to the crankshaft
• Connecting rod – converts reciprocating motion of piston into rotary motion of crankshaft
• Cylinder head – it acts as a top cover to the cylinder block. The valves are placed in the cylinder head in an overhead valve engine.
• Connecting rod – converts reciprocating motion of piston into rotary motion of crankshaft
• Cylinder head – it acts as a top cover to the cylinder block. The valves are placed in the cylinder head in an overhead valve engine.
25. What is the purpose of cooling system?
The
purpose of cooling system is to cool the engine components in order to
keep their temperature below certain limit and thereby avoiding
excessive thermal stress in those components.
