← TechnologyWhich outcome results from the water hammer effect within high-pressure diesel fuel injection systems?
A)Injector nozzle erosion✓
B)Improved fuel atomization
C)Reduced NOx emissions
D)Enhanced volumetric efficiency
💡 Explanation
Injector nozzle erosion occurs because rapid valve closures induce high-pressure spikes propagating as a mechanical wave known as the water hammer effect; therefore, erosion occurs rather than improved fuel atomization, which requires consistent pressure.
