← TechnologyWhich risk significantly increases when liquid fuel enters an internal combustion engine cylinder *after* combustion?
A)Connecting rod fatigue failure✓
B)Reduced exhaust valve lifespan
C)Increased turbocharger impeller erosion
D)Elevated NOx emissions production
💡 Explanation
When liquid fuel enters the cylinder after combustion (post-combustion injection), it can wash away the oil film, leading to increased friction and potential damage in the piston-connecting rod interface, increasing the risk of fatigue. Therefore connecting rod fatigue results, rather than valve failure, turbocharger erosion, or higher NOx which are linked to different mechanisms.
