← ScienceWhich consequence results when incomplete combustion occurs in a diesel engine?
A)Increased particulate matter emissions✓
B)Enhanced engine power output
C)Reduced nitrogen oxide formation
D)Improved fuel conversion efficiency
💡 Explanation
Burning fuel with insufficient oxygen invokes pyrolysis, resulting in increased particulate matter emissions, mainly soot formation, because pyrolysis breaks large hydrocarbons instead of oxidizing them completely; therefore emissions increase rather than improving power output or fuel efficiency.
