← TechnologyWhich outcome is amplified during stoichiometric fuel injections in modern gasoline engines?
A)Catalytic converter thermal runaway✓
B)Improved combustion mixture homogeneity
C)Reduced particulate matter formation
D)Lower exhaust valve temperatures
💡 Explanation
Catalytic converter thermal runaway is amplified through over-temperature excursions due to incomplete combustion by `exhaust stoichiometry`, because excess hydrocarbons reach the catalyst and oxidize rapidly, therefore significantly raising temperature, rather than under normal carefully measured conditions.
