Which outcome increases in gas turbine efficiency when pre-combustion air is heated above the threshold for radical initiation during homogenous autoignition?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced formation of NOx occurs because *thermal NOx formation* exponentially rises with temperature; therefore heated air increases NOx rather than decreasing fuel use; this effect emerges because nitrogen dissociation constants increase at operating conditions.
