← ScienceWhich outcome is implied when a diesel engine operates above designed boost?
A)Increased unburned hydrocarbon emissions✓
B)Enhanced convective heat transfer
C)Improved adiabatic flame temperature
D)Reduced engine knock tendency
💡 Explanation
Exceeding designed boost pressure increases cylinder air density, which leads to fuel-rich combustion and incomplete burning. This happens because of incomplete Autoignition, therefore increased unburned hydrocarbon emissions result, rather than improved combustion or adiabatic flame temperature at each cycle.
