Which consequence results when excessive heat encounters an aircraft turbofan engine combustor?

A)Increased NOx formation due to runaway kinetics
B)Reduced thermal efficiency of the compressor
C)Engine thrust augmented thrust reverser deployment
D)Improved fuel atomization by increased convection

💡 Explanation

Increased NOx formation is the outcome because increased temperature promotes higher kinetic energy, therefore the **Arrhenius equation** exponentially increases reaction rates specifically forming unwanted byproducts from nitrogen oxidation, rather than cleaner ideal combustion due to molecular collision probability.
