Which risk increases when biodiesel fuel's cetane number diminishes?

A)Elevated NOx thermal decomposition rates
B)Reduced injector cavitation thresholds
C)Increased aldehyde radical formation rate
D)Lower brake specific fuel consumption

💡 Explanation

Increased aldehyde radical formation occurs because the lower cetane increases premix combustion rates, leading to incomplete combustion producing measurable levels of aldehydes; therefore, radical formation rate rises, rather than lower fuel consumption at the engine brake.
