Which outcome occurs when the compression ratio in a Diesel cycle engine increases beyond design specifications?

💡 Explanation

When compression ratio increases excessively, autoignition temperature is reached too early via adiabatic compression because temperature increases with pressure, leading to uncontrolled combustion (engine knock). Therefore, engine knock results, rather than reduced power, increased emissions, or thermal runaway all needing different process deviations.
