Which outcome manifests in a jet engine's exhaust when fuel combustion deviates from a stoichiometric mixture at high altitude?

💡 Explanation

Increased unburned hydrocarbons result from incomplete fuel combustion. Partial oxidation occurs because 'insufficient residence time' limits complete reactions in the lean mixtures prevalent at altitude; therefore increased unburned hydrocarbons are emitted, rather than complete combustion or altered NOx formation.
