Which effect reduces combustion completeness in internal combustion engines?

💡 Explanation

Boundary layer quenching diminishes combustion as the cold cylinder wall absorbs heat, reducing the flame temperature and slowing radical chain branching locally; consequently, fuel at wall edges is not completely oxidized because kinetic energy is reduced there rather than throughout the bulk.
