← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when rapid thermal cycling causes piston erosion in a direct injection engine?
A)Increased blow-by and oil consumption✓
B)Enhanced combustion and lower emissions
C)Reduced knocking and improved efficiency
D)Decreased wear on connecting rods
💡 Explanation
Increased blow-by and oil consumption result from scoring through thermal fatigue initiating crack propagation; crack propagation leads to material detachment via the Paris Law of Fatigue because the cyclic thermal stress range near the piston crown exceeds the threshold; therefore gases leak past the piston rings, rather than creating improved combustion.
