Which outcome reduces NOx formation in pulsed combustion?

A)Decreased peak flame temperatures
B)Lowered activation energy barriers
C)Increased local oxygen concentration
D)Higher reactant residence times

💡 Explanation

Decreased peak flame temperatures impede NOx formation because the Arrhenius equation dictates the **exponential temperature dependence** of reaction rates. Therefore lower heat reduces NOx production, rather than higher temperatures, which accelerate undesirable reactions, or conditions affecting diffusion.
