🔍 Key Concepts

• Role of nitrogen in air (inert gas vs. reactive gas) during combustion • How diesel ignition starts (compression ignition and air temperature) • Effect of non‑combustible gases on flame temperature and ignition delay

💭 Think About

• Is nitrogen primarily a fuel, an oxidizer, or mostly inert under normal diesel engine conditions? How would that status influence ignition timing? • If you increase the proportion of a non‑combustible gas in the cylinder charge, what happens to peak combustion temperature and the ease of igniting the fuel? • Which options imply nitrogen is actively helping combustion, and which imply it is neutral or slightly opposing it?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether nitrogen participates directly in the diesel fuel oxidation reaction under normal engine conditions • Consider whether nitrogen mainly acts as a thermal ballast (absorbing heat) or as a promoter of combustion • Check which answer choices are physically plausible based on basic combustion chemistry and which contradict what you know about air composition (about 21% O₂, 79% N₂).
