← ScienceWhich prevents high thermal efficiency in combustion engines?
A)Incomplete fuel oxidation reactions✓
B)Boundary layer laminar sublayer
C)Engine block material changes
D)Rapid flame front propagation
💡 Explanation
Incomplete combustion lowers efficiency because potential energy is transferred to latent heat rather than kinetic; therefore, less usable heat is produced, thus, not all fuel transitions to combustion gases, rather than maximizing total energy release efficiently.
