← TechnologyWhich consequence results when incomplete combustion raises exhaust temperature in a diesel engine's injection cycle?
A)Increased soot formation and emissions✓
B)Improved fuel efficiency overall cycle
C)Reduced engine knocking tendency
D)Enhanced turbocharger impeller efficiency
💡 Explanation
Increased unburned hydrocarbons trigger thermal decomposition causing particulate matter; this outcome occurs via pyrolysis. Higher temperatures increase the **soot formation mechanism** by thermally decomposing fuel molecules rather than enabling proper combustion so higher emissions result.
