Which outcome happens when the compression ratio exceeds design limits in supercharged gasoline engines?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding compression ratio limits will likely lead to detonation because adiabatic compression increases temperature past the fuel's auto-ignition point, causing premature combustion. Therefore, detonation occurs rather than controlled burning, because compression goes beyond designed tolerances.
