Which outcome occurs from localized hot spots during lean fuel combustion in an engine cylinder?

💡 Explanation

When localized hot spots develop during lean combustion, thermal dissociation of nitrogen and oxygen becomes more favorable, therefore increasing NOx formation, rather than pre-ignition, catalyst damage, or reduced particulates, which require different combustion conditions and/or mechanisms.
