← ScienceWhich outcome increases when a throttling valve causes rapid fuel vaporization within a hot-air car engine?
A)Intake manifold icing occurs✓
B)Exhaust gas temperature decreases
C)Cylinder compression-ratio climbs faster
D)Detonation risk falls sharply
💡 Explanation
Intake manifold icing happens because throttling creates sudden pressure drop, which initiates rapid cooling due to the Joule-Thomson effect. Therefore, moisture freezes on the manifold surface, rather than the cylinder wall, because the valve creates an nucleation point.
