← ScienceWhich phenomenon elevates detonation risk when lean burn engine compression ratio excessively increases?
A)Adiabatic compression-induced autoignition✓
B)Increased convective heat transfer losses
C)Reduced flame propagation turbulence
D)Elevated exhaust gas recirculation rates
💡 Explanation
When compression ratio increases, adiabatic compression raises temperature, causing fuel-air mixture autoignition before spark, leading to detonation. Therefore autoignition is the core mechanism, rather than heat transfer losses, reduced turbulence, or EGR variations, requiring different initial conditions.
