Which risk increases when fuel injection in an ultra-lean burn internal combustion engine closely approaches the theoretical Carnot efficiency limit?

💡 Explanation

Increased combustion instability and misfire occur because, with ultra-lean mixtures near the Carnot limit, minor cycle variations drastically reduce peak temperature. Therefore, unburnt fuel and partial combustion products increase rather than complete oxidation due to consistent adequate temperature.
