You’ve just graduated and are working at a firm that manufacturers range extending engines used in hybrid electric vehicles. your boss has commissioned you to suggest an improvement to their most popular engine, which uses a 2-valve design. the engine is operated as a generator to recharge the vehicle’s batteries; its speed is held at a constant, elevated level during operation. immediately you suggest moving toward a 4-valve 2 design with the exhaust valves smaller than the intake valves. your boss disagrees that such a configuration is better for engine performance. state your arguments, and using words and equations, explain why four-valves are preferred to two-valves. then, explain why larger intake valves are preferred to smaller ones using the principle of mass conservation for a steady system,
