Which consequence results when micro-combustion gas engines operate near quenching distances?

💡 Explanation

Increased unburned fuel slip occurs near quenching distances because flame propagation is inhibited by heat losses to the walls; the *quenching effect* prevents complete oxidation. Therefore, fuel escapes uncombusted, rather than burning completely, leading to lower efficiency under altered conditions.
