← ScienceWhich outcome results when combustion timing drifts from optimal during engine cycle?
A)Increased unburnt hydrocarbons✓
B)Maximum brake thermal efficiency
C)Minimum cylinder head temperature
D)Decreased nitrogen oxide production
💡 Explanation
Increased unburnt hydrocarbons result from incomplete combustion. Ignition retard causes the flame front to encounter less oxygen due to the cylinder wall quenching effect, triggering incomplete combustion, rather than optimal, because there are wall effects. Therefore, higher hydrocarbon release; minimal combustion.
