← TechnologyWhich risk increases when piston dwell time is reduced in an internal combustion engine?
A)Increased unburnt fuel in exhaust✓
B)Elevated peak cylinder pressure
C)Reduced NOx formation due to quench
D)Enhanced lubricant film thickness
💡 Explanation
When piston dwell time at the top of the stroke is reduced, less time is available for complete combustion of end gases because the volume is smaller, leading to increased unburnt fuel. Therefore fuel in exhaust increases, rather than peak pressure, reduced NOx, or enhanced lubrication, which typically require different control parameters.
