The operation of forcing additional air under pressure in the engine cylinder is known as- Correct Answer Supercharging

  • Supercharging increases the quantity of air intake to the cylinder to develop more power
  • On the other hand, the process of driving exhaust gases out of the cylinder and replacing it with fresh air is called scavenging
  • The increase in pressure of the air above atmospheric pressure in case of supercharging is greater as compared to that in scavenging (little above atmospheric pressure)
