← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when elevated exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) lowers combustion temperatures excessively in diesel engines using dual fuel injection?
A)Increased unburned hydrocarbon (UHC) emissions✓
B)Higher peak cylinder combustion pressure
C)Reduced particulate matter (PM) formation
D)Enhanced nitrogen oxides (NOx) production
💡 Explanation
Higher EGR flow lowers combustion temperatures; incomplete oxidation occurs due to insufficient heat. The mechanism is flame quenching, because partial oxidation produces unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, therefore increasing UHC emissions rather than completing combustion.
