Which outcome occurs when rapidly compressing a diesel engine's fuel-air mixture?

💡 Explanation

Spontaneous fuel ignition happens because adiabatic compression causes significant temperature rise. Ignition occurs when the autoignition temperature is reached; therefore, fuel ignites without a spark plug, rather than pre-ignition (spark timing effects) or exhaust gas changes.
