Jakayla Huerta · Answer 1

options 3,4,5 are the currect options

Explanation:

Volumetric efficiency in a reciprocating engine is defined as the ratio of the mass density of the air-fuel mixture drawn into the cylinder at atmospheric pressure (during the intake stroke) to the mass density of the same volume of air in the intake manifold.

Volumetric efficiency of a reciprocating engine is decreased by

- improper valve timing

-sharp bends in the induction system

- high carburetor air temperature.
