← TechnologyWhich risk increases substantially when the quench area within an internal combustion engine's cylinder becomes excessively large?
A)Unburnt fuel escapes during combustion✓
B)Premature detonation damages piston crowns
C)Lubricant film breakdown accelerates wear
D)Exhaust valve temperatures exceed limits
💡 Explanation
Increased quench area can lead to incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture because of the `flame quenching` effect near the cylinder walls; therefore, unburnt fuel escapes into the exhaust, rather than fully combusting and increasing efficiency.
