← ScienceWhich failure do reciprocating engines face when crankshaft speed increases?
A)Harmonic imbalance induces structural resonance✓
B)Excess heat promotes pre-ignition events
C)Fuel starvation disrupts intake stroke
D)Valve float reduces volumetric efficiency
💡 Explanation
Harmonic imbalance causes structural resonance at specific RPMs because reciprocating motion creates oscillating forces. Therefore, induced resonance increases engine stress, rather than simple pre-ignition, valve float, or fuel starvation issues under normal, on-spec conditions. ENGINE SYSTEM IS UNIQUE.
