Which outcome occurs when diesel fuel injector nozzle hole size is reduced in direct injection engine?

A)Increased particulate matter emissions
B)Higher cylinder peak pressure
C)Decreased NOx production
D)Reduced fuel consumption at idle

💡 Explanation

When hole size is reduced, fuel atomization improves because higher injection pressures are required for the same flow rate, causing finer droplets and better mixing, leading to higher peak cylinder pressure. Therefore higher cylinder peak pressure results, rather than PM, NOx, or consumption changes which depend on different thermodynamic effects.
