Question 1: In hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), how does the thermal management system contribute to overall vehicle efficiency?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By increasing the battery's charge capacity

By solely cooling the internal combustion engine

By regulating cabin temperature independently of powertrain components

By managing the temperatures of both the engine and the electric motor to optimize performance and reduce energy losses

Question 2: What role does the thermostat play in maintaining optimal engine temperature in an automotive thermal system?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It circulates coolant through the engine without controlling temperature

It serves only to increase fuel efficiency

It increases engine temperature for better performance

It regulates coolant flow to maintain a constant engine temperature by opening or closing at specific temperatures

Question 3: Which material is most commonly used for high-strength automotive chassis components due to its excellent fatigue resistance and formability?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Aluminum Alloy

Titanium Alloy

High-Strength Low-Alloy (HSLA) Steel

Cast Iron

Question 4: How do you address thermal expansion in automotive structural design, particularly in engine components?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By ignoring thermal expansion to reduce complexity

By using a single material type across all components

By using only materials that expand minimally, regardless of other properties

By selecting materials with matching thermal expansion properties and designing for expansion tolerance

Question 5: How does the use of a variable valve timing system impact the thermal performance of an engine?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It has no significant impact on thermal performance

It helps optimize combustion efficiency and reduces thermal load by adjusting valve timing based on engine load

It reduces engine power without affecting thermal management

It increases engine temperature without improving efficiency

Question 6: In automotive structural design, what is the primary function of a subframe?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To support the engine and transmission

To simplify the suspension design

To enhance aerodynamic performance

To house electrical components
