← TechnologyWhich phenomenon limits a turbocharger's effectiveness with low-octane fuel in high-compression engine?
A)Premature detonation from increased pressure✓
B)Inefficient combustion from lower flame speed
C)Thermal shock from rapid temperature changes
D)Injector clogging from fuel additive precipitation
💡 Explanation
When low-octane fuel is used with a turbocharger in a high-compression engine, increased cylinder pressure and temperature cause pre-ignition because the fuel auto-ignites before the spark. Therefore premature detonation occurs, rather than slower combustion, thermal shock, or injector clogging which involve different operational failures.
