← ScienceWhich mechanism diminishes an internal combustion engine's efficiency at high RPM?
A)Valve float reduces cylinder filling✓
B)Increased friction losses dominate energetics
C)Detonation causes pre-ignition events
D)Reduced heat transfer elevates entropy
💡 Explanation
Valve float induces incomplete cylinder filling because the valve springs cannot close the valves fast enough, therefore less air and fuel are inducted, reducing combustion efficiency rather than being due to friction which plays a different role.
