← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when increasing the compression ratio during adiabatic compression?
A)Increases reaction rate of diesel fuel✓
B)Decreases activation energy requirement sharply
C)Maintains constant reaction thermodynamic equilibrium
D)Catalytic conversion rate becomes diffusion-limited
💡 Explanation
Increasing compression leads to higher temperatures because adiabatic compression transfers kinetic energy into heat energy via molecular collisions. This increases the rate constant via the Arrhenius equation, therefore accelerating the reaction rather than affecting activation energy.
