Which mechanism limits efficiency of diesel engine under high load conditions?

A)Intercooler inefficiency reduces air density
B)Incomplete combustion generates soot buildup
C)Lean misfire increases unburned hydrocarbons
D)Valve float causes intake charge dilution

💡 Explanation

Under high loads, diesel engines experience incomplete combustion because insufficient time exists for proper air-fuel mixing and burning, generating soot that reduces efficiency. Therefore, soot buildup results, rather than intercooler inefficiency, lean misfire, or valve float, each involving different parameters and failure modes.
